 | Wimshurst Machine: Electrostatic Ping Pong 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 |
 | Wimshurst Machine Demonstration The Wimshurst Machine was the workhorse for electrostatics work from the late nineteenth century until about 1930. Attractive and reliable, this version of the well-known Wimshurst machine provides smooth operation. It is sturdily constructed with a durable laminate base and machined rigid polymer support elements. It has 32cm unbreakable plates and two high-capacity Leyden jars that ensure reliable operation under all but the most humid conditions. At low humidities 10-12cm sparks can be drawn between the adjustable ball-ended electrodes. Charge leakage from the Leyden jars is very low. The jars also can be disconnected to lower the capacitance of the system and permit rapid sequence of sparks to be generated. Includes instructions. http://www.cencophysics.com/wimshurststaticmachine.aspx |
 | Homemade Wimshurst-Machine This is a short Video about my Wimshurst. I get this Machine from Ebay. The Day I have recieved it...I was very frustrated: The Wimshurst was totally (really totally) destroyed! So I must repare it. I must replace the most components with my homemade ones. After 2 weeks I'm finished. And here is the result! Sparks with Leyden Jars: 2,5 inches and more Sparks without Leyden Jars: max. 1,5 inches Disksize: 7 inches (from one site to the other) Little Metal Plates: 66 Pieces Heigh of the Leyden Jars: 3,5 inches If you have any questions or tips: Friedrich.Sacher@web.de ! Sorry that the Video has no sound but I forget to switch on the Microphone :) ! |

 | Wimshurst Machine Here is our cheap Chinese-made self-starting Wimshurst electrostatic generator in normal operation. Each of the two electrostatic plates have 32 sectors. The spark shown here is approximately 9cm in length, and this machine is capable of producing sparks in the 12cm range. Visit our website at http://www.decadcounter.com/ |

 | Wimshurst Machine 1. The Wimshurst machine I built for generating static electricity. This shows the machine running producing small sparks. The Leyden jars were not connected for this video so the sparks are smaller (approx 30mm) and faster. |
