Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Wimshurst Static Machine?
The Wimshurst Static Machine is an electrostatic generator designed as electrical equipment for physics demonstrations and science education.
How are the plates structured and driven?
The machine features two heavy, high-resistance plastic plates with sectors of aluminium sheet. They are supported by two rigid uprights and driven by a belt in opposite directions.
What are the Leyden Jars made of?
The machine includes two Leyden Jars (condensers) constructed from high-quality corning glass and aluminium foil.
What is the optimal working temperature for this electrostatic generator?
The device operates effectively within a temperature range of -10 to 40 Centidegree.
How does humidity affect the discharge distance of the machine?
The discharge distance is greater than 55mm when relative humidity is at 65%, and it is greater than 30mm when relative humidity reaches 80%.
What sizes of the Wimshurst Machine are available for order?
It is available in two sizes: the J13.0902-S model features a small disc with a diameter of 235mm, and the J13.0902-B model features a big disc with a diameter of 275mm.
