a Snapshots from the Supplementary Video 1 of a spinning non-magnetic motor displaying a complete rotation cycle, where t and T denote time and rotation period, respectively. b Dependence of the rotation rate on electric field and driving frequency for the motors made of VHBTM 4910 and BAC2 films. The inset is a magnification of the data indicated by the arrow, which represents the electric field and frequency-dependent behavior of the rotation rate for VHBTM4910 based motor. c Dependence of the rotation rate on the driving frequency for the VHBTM 4910 and BAC2 based motors as well as BAC2 based motor with transmission gears at 48 MV m−1. d Comparison of the output torque and power of VHBTM 4910 and BAC2 based motors.
