Converting plastic-heavy automotive shredder residue into marketable materials can be assisted with electrostatic methods, according to a European technology provider. Color sorting when removing ...

The materials required for home electrostatic speaker construction are fairly straightforward, with maybe one exception: the plastic film that forms the moving part. [Mark Rehorst] has an ...

Static electricity often just seems like an ... At the bottom roller, plastic in this example, a comb or brush (called the lower electrode) is placed very close to the belt. As the belt moves ...

Some companies are now considering a way to cut back on emissions by melting plastic waste and converting it into fuel or electricity. In the future, plastic could help power homes or replace ...

Researchers have developed a cost-effective method to convert post-consumer plastic waste into high-performance ...

Or this salty water. Now, the outside of electric wires are usually covered in plastic because it’s a very poor conductor. It hardly conducts any electricity at all, so we can say it’s an ...

An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase.

Now, in a bid to address rising energy demand, researchers have come up with an unconventional way to produce electricity by using tiny plastic beads. When positioned next to each other and ...
