if its moving it is no longer static looks to be in the 100's of thousands of volts should it not be called friction charged electricity i think static is misleading
To bad there are not 6 to 12 discs working in parallel as to get greater current. But than again, that might be for the better as you don't want to kill yourself accidentally.
If it could be done, it would not be very practical. A conventional generator produces more current at less voltage, which is better suited for charging batteries and providing real power.
thats was kick ass man, subbed, sub back, we're curious to know, what are the beer bottles, the lyden jars? and what is the metal on the spinning wheel?
ball lightening should not be that hard if i understand teslas stuff good enough should be as easy as take a piece of glass(flat) about 3 inches around should be good. light a candle and carbon black one side of the glass in the middle place the glass between your spark gap close the gap some and let the spark go through the carbon on the glass if i understand it correctly the ball will bounce off the carboned side of the glass. Try carbon on both sides of the spark gap.
your after the carbon from the candle flame not the heat so dont get the glass to hot it will break!
it works somthing like the electrons will penetrate the glass but some of the energy wont and it will stay suspended on the carbon side for .5 to 1 second if the voltage is high enough and i suspect from the length of the sparks your getting at least 50k volts and thats conservitive est.
I'm very new to this. Are there comparative advantages or disadvantages in building a Holtz generator as opposed to a Bonetti generator? I can certainly see how both are better than a Wimshurst generator since there's less physical contact with the disk. Or am I wrong about that?
Like I said, I'm new. :D
I wanna try my hand at a Kelvin water dropper with leyden jars like you use on your Bonetti generator. :D
Someone ask if I can get a continuous spark. Sorry, but I must have deleted it when trying to respond. But to answer the question, without Leyden jar capacitors, very short sparks can be produced that appear continuous to the eye. But these are very thin sparks. Frequency of sparks are therefore determined by capacitance. So no: the machine will not poduce a continuous arc in the same sense that a high voltage transformer will.
Yes. Type 'electrostatic machines' in your search engine. One of the first links that will come up is Dr. Antonio Carlos' website. You will find instructions for this machine, along with many others, on his site.
u might b able to rig sumthing. static is high voltage and low current but if u ran it through a step down transformer it should raise the current while lowering the voltage thus making it usable as a friction dynamo. im currently working on sumthing similar
thank u. i will but it will take at least several months as im just now starting to study these machines. im actually just now building the vdg to supply the power. it will also take me awhile to adjust the tesla coil(connected backwards) and lyden jars(to convert to ac)but i will post if it works ha ha
No. The current is too low to power a normal electric motor. Normal motors run with low voltage and high currents. This machine produces high voltage at low currents. However, it can power an electrostatic motor. Refer to 'electrostatic motor' on the web, to see what I am talking about.
Makes a good power supply for projects that require high voltages, at low currents. A Wimshurst, however, is the easiest machine to use. A Wimshurst is self-starting, and does not reverse polarity unless stopped.

could you power this by the wind and charge a battery with it?

Do you know where we can have the plans for this machine??
I look all over internet and i can't find it!!
BTW. Nice achivement!!!

VERY NICE. Have you ever tried to harness the energy in any way?
mamoynas 3 years ago
Yes. I use electrostatic machines as power sources for my experimental lasers.
magx1 3 years ago
i was thinking of a way that you could step down the voltage and feed the motor . Have you ever tried something similar?
mamoynas 3 years ago
Are you talking about using this machine as a power supply for ordinary electric motors?
magx1 3 years ago
well why not? But i am only asking IF you have ever tried something like that
