Electrostatic generatorAn electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. 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 with magnetism.
PetrochemicalPetrochemicals (sometimes abbreviated as petchems) are the chemical products obtained from petroleum by refining. Some chemical compounds made from petroleum are also obtained from other fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or renewable sources such as maize, palm fruit or sugar cane. The two most common petrochemical classes are olefins (including ethylene and propylene) and aromatics (including benzene, toluene and xylene isomers). Oil refineries produce olefins and aromatics by fluid catalytic cracking of petroleum fractions.
Influence (électrostatique)En électricité, l'influence électrostatique désigne l'effet sur la répartition des charges électriques d'un conducteur du champ électrostatique auquel ce conducteur est soumis, ainsi que les méthodes de charge ou de décharge d'un conducteur exploitant cet effet. En régime quasi-statique, les déplacements de charges sont associés aux courants de déplacement introduits quantitativement par Maxwell en 1861. Le cadre théorique approprié pour l'étude de l'influence électrique est l'électrostatique.
