Theory version 20231004
This report explores the theory and mechanical implications of using variations in electrical capacitance to collect mechanical
energy and render it available in electrical form. Fully developed, it may represent a feasible alternative to the common
dynamo or alternator, applicable to energy sources other than rotation (such as variations in pressure), and may be scalable to
any required capacity.
