CONT

Gyroscope électrostatique. Le rotor est constitué par une sphère dont la sustentation par rapport au stator est obtenue par les forces de répulsion qu'engendre un champ électrique élevé entre le rotor et les électrodes solidaires du stator. [...] Les forces de répulsion nécessaires à la sustentation du rotor sont proportionnelles au carré du champ électrique, ce qui permet d'utiliser des champs alternatifs.
