The theoretical background and technical capabilities of the free liquid surface (nozzleless) electrospinnig process is described. The process is the basis of both laboratory and industrial production machines known as Nanospider TM and developed by Elmarco s.r.o. Technical capabilities of the machines (productivity, nanofiber layer metrics, and quality) are described in detail. Comparison with competing/complementary technologies is given, e.g. nozzle electrospinning, nano-meltblown, and
