In this experiment, the Planck constant is measured based on the inertial mass measurement rather than the gravitational mass determinations in some other well-known experiments, e.g., the Kibble balance and counting atoms. We link the mechanical force to a quantum-traceable electrostatic force by a beam balance oscillator. After a 5-year continuous effort, the principle of the proposal is verified by a preliminary measurement with a relative uncertainty of 5.4×10^-5. The proposal has the potential to achieve much higher measurement accuracy with further improvements.展开更多
