WIMSHURST MACHINE, SUPERIOR

This conventional electrostatic charge generator is made up of two parallel transparent discs mounted on stiff uprights. Each disk contains a number of radial aluminium segments that are driven in opposite directions by a hand wheel and a belt. Combs set on either end of the discs gather the electrostatic charge on aluminum segments, which is then stored in two leyden jars. When the potential difference between the jars is sufficiently large. A spark will travel between the adjustable discharge spheres. Category No. Disc - Size Spark - Length 101844 10” Up to 3” H60
