Next-generation naval ships will require electric machinery with at least 50% greater power density than is available today. Such machines must deliver up to 10s of MW at 100-200 rpm with very high energy efficiency, extremely low noise signature, and reasonable cost. Electrostatic machine technology is often overlooked but is perfectly suited to achieving these goals. C-Motive Technologies proposes the investigation and development of a direct drive electrostatic machine design that is lightweight, compact, power dense, has an extremely high and flat efficiency profile, may be passively cooled.

Benefit:
Highly efficient, compact, lightweight and cost-effective conversion of electrical power into high torque, low speed motion. Potential applications include conventional propeller drives for medium-to-large electric ships, UAV propulsion, podded propulsors, large wind turbine generators, wave energy converters, off-highway vehicle propulsion, hydraulic motor replacement
