Every electric motor I know, takes electricity and converts it over a magnetic field, for generating movement.
Is it possible to generate significant movement, based only only on electrons movement?

wasn't this recently asked? and the answer was down to the force generated by an electrical field as oppose to a magnetic field – Feb 08 '15 at 02:32

1There are also electrostatic motors. – TEMLIB Feb 08 '15 at 02:34

1Piezoelectric motors too. They are often used for small high resolution movements. – Nick Alexeev Feb 08 '15 at 02:39

1In principle, you could use bimetallic strips and heat them up resistively to make some type of actuator. – user57037 Feb 08 '15 at 04:43

1A piezoelectric motor is just a form of electrostatic motor. One could also, in theory, have a motor driven by some sort of electro-chemical reaction. – Hot Licks Feb 08 '15 at 04:44

1@mkeith - In fact, there are micro-actuators based on the bimetallic scheme. – Hot Licks Feb 08 '15 at 04:45

1The movement of electrons is basically the flow of current and any flow of current generates a magnetic field. This makes your question difficult to understand. – Andy aka Feb 08 '15 at 09:34

@JonRB: asked where? – sergiol Feb 08 '15 at 13:55

Yes, one for example is the electrostatic motor which uses only charge to create motion. No magnetic field required.
