As any VDG this machine generates a very small power: it gives 75000 V aprox. but with a very small current in order of micro amperes - thank this you can play safe with it!

Thank you,this project was developed with the idea of green powered machines,in this case human powered, so you don´t need external power sources. With the hand powered VDG you can make outside demonstrations and also the only mechanical principle of electrostatic generation is evidenced.
