At what rpm do you think the disk are spinning? how much effort does it take to spin them? does it develop more drag until it discharges? Very well done! I checked out your blog of your building it. Very nice job! I hope you do more things.
Excelent machine! I'm building one myself, but am having issues keeping the discs completely aligned. Will the device not function if the discs come into contact with eachother for a short period of time?
Yes, it's odd that and it confused me as well. I think it's my digital camera. Sometimes it misses the spark and for some reason sometimes it looks like it is arcing across the machine. I thought perhaps it was shorting across the discs but in reality it isn't arcing anywhere near them.
instead of 2 balls, try a ring inside a ring . maybe get a larger discharge? or multiple discharges? very good machine! good vid
Peace all!

thats awesome because you can throttle the voltage of the discharge by controlling the distance between the electrode.

You seem to have slight issues there, I noticed sometimes the spark was int he wrong place lol?

The reason sometimes your camera wouldn't catch the sparks is because they're moving so fast, so the camera doesn't pick them up.
Also possibly due to the light in the room they are hard to see, try with lights off?

Also, I don't suppose you have plans for one of these machines do you?
