Wimshurst Machine: Electrostatic Ping Pong
Loading...
Uploaded by gschelle on Jan 25, 2007
Wimshurst machine generating static electricity. While cranking the machine swing the conducting sphere such that the sphere touches one of the charged plates. The sphere will become like charged, be repelled, and swing across the gap to hit the opposite plate. Charge transfer again takes place and the sphere swings back to the first plate and so on. The sphere will continue the back and forth oscillation for as long as one provides "fresh" charge via cranking the Wimshurst machine. More videos at http://commons.bcit.ca/physics

GREAT NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAY! can you figure out how to charge up a lead acid battery with that machine?
-
@advthinker yes,i have two balls,but i'm afraid to give them high voltage... ;)
-
If you had two balls on strings, would they clack clack clack ?
-
Actually the breakdown electric field for dry air is approximately 30 kV/cm. Check your data.

@llamadogwillkillu hamster on some serious steroids maybe
-
omg ? put your hand on it ?

Its basically hooked up to franklins bells except no pyhsical bells.
