Abstract:
1. An electricity-transport system for transporting electrical energy from an energy-producer device to an energy-consumer device, the system comprising: the energy-producer device having a first active electrode, a first passive electrode, and a generator connected on a first side thereof to the first active electrode and on a second side thereof to the first passive electrode so as to subject said first active electrode to variations in potential; and the energy-consumer device having a second active electrode, a second passive electrode, and a load connected on a first side thereof to said second active electrode and on a second side thereof to said second passive electrode; wherein the second active electrode interacts with the first active electrode by a Coulomb interaction, forming a direct capacitive coupling between the first active electrode and the second active electrode; the first passive electrode is coupled to the second passive electrode by capacitive coupling; at least one of the passive electrodes is not connected to a ground potential; and the first active electrode and first passive electrode are asymmetrical, the first passive electrode being either larger in size than the first active electrode or a ground, and the first passive electrode has potential variations of lower amplitude than the potential variations of the first active electrode.
