Patent ID: 7211923

Claim:
A power system comprising: a non-conducting member with a stored static charge which is a monopole charge to form a monopole structure, the non-conducting member comprises two or more sections; and at least two or more electrodes, wherein each of the two or more electrodes is spaced from and on substantially opposing sides of the member from the other electrode and is at least partially in alignment with the other electrode; wherein at least one of the member and the at least two or more electrodes is moveable with respect to the other; and wherein when at least one of the sections is at least partially between the two or more electrodes, the at least one of the sections has the stored static electric charge closer to one of the two or more electrodes and when at least one of the other sections is at least partially between the two or more electrodes, the at least one of the other sections has the stored static electric charge closer to the other one of the two or more electrodes.
