What You Get
How Does it Work?
The Wimshurst machine, invented by British inventor James Wimshurst in the 1880s, is an electrostatic generator.
The machine is able to generate high voltages through the contra-rotation of two discs, often made of glass. The discs are insulated with a metal section and rotate in opposite directions. As the discs rotate, charge is collected on metal combs. As soon as there is a difference in charge between the two discs, the charging process begins.
This charging process is a positive feedback loop, and increases the polarisation of the two sides of the disc. This polarisation increases until there is enough built up charge in the attached Leyden jars to create a spark between the two.
