Electrostatic levitation is achieved with the control system that is characterized by using a variable capacitor mechanism. In the control system, a variable capacitor is connected with an electrostatic actuator in series. A constant high voltage is applied to this connection. The voltage applied to the actuator is controlled by changing the capacitance of the variable capacitor. An apparatus was fabricated for electrostatic levitation. The capability of electrostatic levitation by the proposed control system was verified experimentally.
