  • hey there, have you tried adding another element in this model? "magnets" you could rig it up so the magnets would spin it and then you have yourself a generator. try it out and let me know the results.

  • Very nice machine. Can I ask how and what you use to insulate your sectors? Are they under the surface of the disk's somehow?

  • I've experimented with a variety of electrostatic machines. Although not the most powerful, the Wimshurst machine is probably among the most reliable.

  • Agreed, and I really like the control a Wimshurst machine gives...

  • Very nice looking machine! The performance is very good, indeed. Your sparks are bright, loud, yet frequent - optimal ingredients for an impressive display.
