About Wimshurst Machine

Wimshurst Machine

Sparks : 70 mm
Discs : 300 mm
Electrostatic machine known as "influence"
It is equipped with 2 insulating discs receiving metal sectors.
The discs rotate in opposite directions to each other and the friction of metal brushes on the sectors
generates a potential difference.
The charges accumulated in Leiden bottles to increase the potential difference.

Technical data

Potential difference : up to 160 kV
Sparks : 70 mm max
Disc diameter : 300 mm
Dimensions : 350 x 200 x 390 mm

Visualize High-Voltage Sparks Safely

With its twin counter-rotating acrylic disks, the Wimshurst Machine allows users to generate visible sparks up to 70 mm in length. This compelling visual display is ideal for classroom and lab demonstrations, offering a unique way to study and explain electrostatic phenomena.

Manual Operation for Hands-On Learning

The device is hand-cranked, giving users direct control over spark generation. This manual operation promotes engagement and understanding, enabling users to experience firsthand the relationship between cranking speed, spark strength, and electrostatic principles.

Robust Construction and Versatile Application

Constructed from durable acrylic, metal, and insulating supports, this machine is built for repeated use in educational settings. Its free-standing base and analog spark display make it suitable for a range of general laboratory and teaching applications.

FAQs of Wimshurst Machine:

Q: How does the Wimshurst Machine generate high-voltage sparks?

A: The Wimshurst Machine produces high-voltage sparks by manually cranking twin counter-rotating acrylic disks. As the disks spin, metal sectors and neutralizer bars accumulate opposite electrostatic charges, which are then collected by Leyden jars. When discharged, these stored charges create visible sparks between electrodes.

Q: What are the recommended applications for this electrostatic generator?

A: This device is ideal for general laboratory and educational use, particularly to visually demonstrate electrostatic charging, spark discharge, and the behavior of capacitive elements like Leyden jars. Its analog display makes it suitable for physics classrooms and science demonstrations.

Q: When should I use the Wimshurst Machine in an educational setting?

A: The Wimshurst Machine is best used when teaching or demonstrating principles of static electricity, capacitance, or high-voltage phenomena. It is especially valuable during practical lessons in physics or when introducing concepts related to electrostatics.

Q: Where should the Wimshurst Machine be placed for safe operation?

A: Place the machine on a sturdy, flat surface to ensure stability during manual cranking. Choose a dry environment, as humidity affects spark length and performance. Always follow safety guidelines from the included instruction manual.

Q: What is the process for assembling and operating the Wimshurst Machine?

A: Assembly typically involves attaching the disks, Leyden jars, and handles as outlined in the instruction manual. To operate, simply turn the manual handle to rotate the disks, observe the buildup of electrostatic charge, and witness the spark discharge.

Q: How can I benefit from using this device in my lab or classroom?

A: Using this Wimshurst Machine fosters interactive learning, offering a clear and engaging visualization of electrostatic principles. It encourages hands-on experimentation, critical thinking, and aids in the comprehension of high-voltage phenomena.
