So you can´t go camping with your VDG...

nice vid, you should try to automate it with a motor.

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.

nice!

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!

if your looking for green energy meby you should put grass or somthing in your fireplace for heat
