Micromachined Electric Field Mill Employing a Vertical Moving Shutter
AbstractThis paper presents a new type of micromachined electric field mill (MEFM) for measuring dc electric fields. This MEFM employs thermal actuators for vertical movement of an electrically grounded shutter, to mill the amplitude of a dc electric field incident on underlying sense electrodes. It addresses the main drawbacks of existing MEFMs, which

In the last 20 years, the use of high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission has grown considerably. With the increase in the number of HVDC transmission lines and in the transmission voltages, concern has increased as to possible health effects. For research on these health effects to be carried out, it is necessary to measure the electrical

Model of response of an electric field mill operating during suborbital flight [PDF]
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.

Measurements with Angular Sensitive Electric Field Mill in Thunderstorms
Abstract Electric Field Mills (EFMs) are critical tools in atmospheric sciences for measuring electric fields within thunderstorms. Traditional EFMs primarily record field magnitudes and often lack the precise temporal resolution and directionality necessary for in-depth storm analysis.

Retrieving Storm Electric Fields from Aircraft Field Mill Data. Part II: Applications
Abstract The Lagrange multiplier theory developed in Part I of this study is applied to complete a relative calibration of a Citation aircraft that is instrumented with six field mill sensors. When side constraints related to average fields are used, the Lagrange multiplier method performs well in computer simulations.

Model, design, and experiments of a field mill sensor for measuring high-voltage DC electric fields
Abstract In an attempt to measure the DC field intensity in the space below the high voltage transmission line, based on the principium of electrostatic induction, the DC-induced signal is transformed into an AC signal by continuously changing the relative area of the parallel plate capacitor, and then the signal is filtered and ...

Isotropic Irradiation Model from Atmospheric Discharges Using Local Atmospheric Electric Field Data
Using a local atmospheric electric field sensor network (Field Mill), an electromagnetic link model was proposed considering a free space electric field and a theoretical electric field calculated from an atmospheric discharge. With this, it was possible
