| Sep 27, 2016 at 2:21 | comment | added | brhans | Your latest edit is turning this question into something off-topic here on meta. | |
| Sep 27, 2016 at 1:51 | comment | added | user80875 | A question about the feasibility of an electrical machine that is very different from commonly used electrical machines is too general. Good answers would need to be heavily based on opinion, lengthly and complicated, and thus not good for this format. If you studied the characteristics of an existing machine and asked a question about some aspect of that with reference to your source, that would be ok. | |
| Sep 26, 2016 at 23:49 | comment | added | roobee | @CharlesCowie So if I did not have the no metal requirement, do you think the question would have been well received? | |

| Sep 26, 2016 at 23:43 | comment | added | roobee | @tuskiomi So does that mean the device I proposed does not exits? Or that I need to do more research? | |
| Sep 26, 2016 at 16:52 | comment | added | user86234 | I'd reckon the downvotes are due to a lack of understanding of the basic premises of electrical physics. | |
| Sep 24, 2016 at 18:33 | comment | added | user80875 | If you can get to 20 reputation points, you could talk about this in the chat area. There is research in electrostatics and some of the research involves building machines. However, I doubt anyone is looking at what might be done with no metal and no advanced technology. It seems both futile and pointless. | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 12:50 | comment | added | dim | @ScottSeidman I'm stunned. Well, it's good to know. If engineers and scientists don't want to answer your question, no problem: ask the scriptwriters. | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 12:44 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | @dim -- I was right, but after the fact! worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/45175/… | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 10:38 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | @dim, that or noplace. The stack will be more receptive to questions like this, and might help develop the question for prime ime | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 9:15 | comment | added | dim | @ScottSeidman Worldbuilding! Were you serious? It really made me laugh. | |
| Sep 22, 2016 at 15:05 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | I see that physics didn't care for this, either. You might try the "worldbuilding" stack exchange. I have no experience there, or interest in going there, but from what I see in the "hot network questions" list, they seem to specialize in these sorts of "what if" questions. | |
