This shows a brushless electrostatic motor that has no segments on the rotor.  The electrostatic forces act on a clear plastic bottle rotor that has a strip of aluminum foil tape rolled up inside it.  The geometry of the bladed stator causes a rotation as the Coulomb force of attraction and repulsion act on the rotor.
