  • this machine is awesome!

    but questions: do the metal plates on the machine face out and away from each other or in towards each other? do the collecting combs make contact with the metal plates? and do the neutralizing brushes make contact with the plates?

  • Metal plates on the discs faces out from each other. The collecting combs don't make contact but are very close to the plates. While neutralizing brushes make contacts with plates

    Bye

  • is that homemade? and did u put bearings between the 2 disks? if not, what material u put?

  • Yes it's 100% homemade and built with recycled stuff

    All components are built by hand

    I used the common hand tools and an electric drill.

    The two disks are supported by pulleys made of wood with two screws. Each disks rotate on two brass cylinders with bore from 4mm. Cylinders rotate freely on the axis of steel that is fixed.

    If you have additional questions you can write me here

    Regards

  • I have a question about the wimhurst machine..When it is generating the power, how drag is on the crank? When a load is applied does this induce make it harder to crank?

  • Are the brushes conected to the electrodes?

  • excelente!!!!!!

  • i due cilindri sotto alle sfere sono bottiglie di leyda vero?

  • looks ok ! i just being in LINDEN were the Methernitha community claim the magic machine , today is nothing there but they put hundreds videos clips in the youtube ....promotion? marketing?..greed? we run by poisoning ourself by petrol and we breed the fumes every day--not enought reason to open it up "the secret"?

    whats up with all people ? we humans are seek ? and last lay!! Baumann was inspired by GOD !!! please !! NO MORE LAYS !!

  • hey there, if you add some magnets on your disks they would spin themselves, also creating free energy

  • Una domanda!! Dove ai trovato le balle? BTW, sono sloveno!!!

  • @highvoltagefeathers

    This design is quite forgiving. Yes - discs can touch, but should not. Nothing has to be precise. Discs can wobble. Machine will still work fine. But touching discs will stick together and make movement freeze up, or make machine handle very hard to turn.

  • Just put a layer of copper mesh around that spark discharge and send it to the + terminal of a battery through an inductive load. You, my friend, will be very surprised. ; )
