Optimized design of micromachined electric field mills to maximize electrostatic field sensitivity
Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research, 2016 This paper describes the design optimization of a micromachined electric field mill, in relation to maximizing its output signal. The cases studied are for a perforated electrically grounded shutter vibrating laterally over sensing electrodes.

Development of Wireless Electric Field Mill for Atmospheric Electric Field Observation
TELKOMNIKA (Telecommunication Computing Electronics and Control), 2014 Rotating-vane electric field mill (REFM) sensor is one of the popular methods to measure atmospheric quasi-static electric field. Lightning incident occasion can be predicted by observing electric fields strength in atmosphere. In this paper an integration of REFM with an online wireless data monitoring system for long distance observation and data ...

Investigation of a Micromachined Electric Field Mill Using Dielectric Shutter
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractThis paper investigates a new type of micromachined electric field mill (MEFM) fabricated using a silicon dielectric shutter. The performance of the MEFM is investigated as a function of the dimensional parameters for shutter perforation repetition period, width of perforations and electrodes, shutter thickness, and the gap between shutter and ...

Model of response of an electric field mill operating during suborbital flight [PDF]
Review of Scientific Instruments, 1974 A rotating-vane electric field mill was used to measure the electric field at the base of a series of vehicles as they passed through the ionosphere and reentered the atmosphere. Anticipated rapid and large variations in measured electric fields required a time response of a few milliseconds and a dynamic range from 40 to 50 000 V/m.
