An electriferous rotating cone is used as spinneret for the production of nanofibers (see image). It is demonstrated that the production rate by this novel approach is several thousand times higher than that by the single‐needle electrospinning technique. This novel technique may attract interest for other applications such as recycling expanded polystyrene, textiles, and filtration meshes.
