I was researching in this area long ago too and he was kind enough to send me a copy of his electrostatic. I started this research after believing i invented a new electric motor.
Electrostatic motors meridian international research. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained merely an interesting and mystifying phenomenon, without a theory to explain its behavior and often confused. This week hes showing us how he made a large electrostatic motor. They are based on the physics of the fairweather atmosphere that has an abundance of positive electric charges up to an altitude of 20 km. The consequences of this development are difficult to predict.

I have developed an electrostatic motor that has tested more powerful than existing designs, and has a potential for accessing a new alternative energy source. Discovered by ben franklin in the 18th century, electrostatic motors are an allamerican invention. Apart from possible applications electrostatic motors make fascinating playthings. We also have demonstrated the unique properties of electro static motors. In a jefimenkotype motor the maximum value of the experimental torque is 38. This type of motor is based on coulomb forces, and its energy output is related to the change in electrostatic energy that occurs when charges are moved between the terminals of a highvoltage hv supply.
