Abstract

An electrostatic motor and its method of production. This electric motor, comprising a fixed part (200, 204, 206, 208) called a stator with a deformable resilient membrane (208) and a moving part (230) called a rotor arranged on the membrane (208) and driven by deformation waves from the resilient membrane, is characterised in that it includes electrostatic means (204, 205) for deforming the membrane (208).
