Have you ever tried making a Kelvin Water Dropper ? Takes a bit of room but is interesting how it creates a spark from drops of water. Would like to try making the set up someday.
You forgot one other magical power, when a wimshurst machine rotates it's sectors, it's applying mechanical force tangential to the direction of the electric force. As a result, wimshurst machines only have to fight a small component vector of the electric force in order to complete sector re-alignments. This allows them to have an amplified electric potential energy output relative to their kinetic energy input specifically in regards to the portion of energy used to fight the electric force. This is because sector re-alignments are done against component vectors but the charges are propelled by the full force vector of the electric force.
Great video. Have been trying to think of ways to use it that I have yet to see online. The spinning thing on a wire I have done with a 9000 volt neon transformer but is tricky. Seems to be under powered really. But aluminum foil will work.
In my experience, DC high voltage works best for ionic thrust. Comes down to repelling the atmosphere, by charging it to a simillar charge. If there is AC present, you cant have full repulsion.
I bought such a machine. The paper experiment works nicely. I wonder why I cannot get any hair standing up. I tried with several persons and setups. A Van der Graaf generator does the trick, but this Wimshurst machine does not. What's the reason?
The maximum voltage of this machine is not high enough to produce a strong hair-raising effect, but there will nevertheless be some effect. An easy way to observe the effect is to touch one electrode while bringing the back of your other hand near the other electrode (but not so near as to produce a spark!). You may be able feel the hairs stand up a little and you may be able to observe the hairs rise if you look closely. It may help to place an empty soft drink aluminum can over and in contact with the non-grounded electrode to form a larger electrode area of less curvature so you can approach it more closely without causing a spark. To raise the hair on your head, two things are prerequisites: One of the electrodes (the rods with the discharge balls on the ends) must be electrically connected to ground such as via a wire from the electrode to a cold-water pipe. The person must touch the other rod while being well-insulated from the surrounding environment. For instance, the person can stand on a clean plastic step stool or on a clean plastic sheet that is at least several millimeters thick. Once the machine is turned on, the person may observe a slight tingling effect as the fine hairs on the backs of the hands and on the arms stand up a little. The effect may be observable if you look closely at the hairs. The person may be able to get the head-hairs to stand out a little by shaking his or her head vigorously. Here's an explanation of the strength of the force: The electrostatic force is proportional to the charge times the field strength. For a given physical arrangement (a given separation of objects at differing voltages), the field strength is proportional to the voltage difference and the stored charge on the surfaces is also proportional to the voltage difference, so the electrostatic force is typically proportional to the square of the voltage difference. Thus, the force produced in a given situation using 30,000 volts is only about 9% of that produced by a 100,000-volt difference ((30,000/100,000)^2), and is about 2.3% of that produced by a 200,000-volt difference. Van de Graaf generators with top electrodes of about 3 inches in diameter can produce voltages exceeding 100,000 volts which will produce some hair raising, and the generators with even larger top electrodes can go much higher in voltage, producing the impressive hair-raising results you can see in other videos.
If only I discovered your channel back when then when I was still in hs I’d definitely be more interested in studying physics and not think of it as a pointless subject 🙃 also unrelated but you look so good in that vest lol maybe it should make a comeback on your next videos 😉
This is good info. Did you literally get the notification today, or, just not happen to notice it till today? The notification system has flaws that is good to know about
Thank you for this feedback. As a member of the RUclipsrs Union, I take great offense to youtube tampering with their notification system. It happens frequently. Thousands of channels are reporting that their subscribers dont get notifications at all. That is unacceptable.
They've been sold out for a hot minute. I wanted to order one so I had to go with something bigger and more expensive. That's okay though I can do even more with it.
Still waiting to hear back from the 5th viewer. So far, 4 have been contacted and accepted their kits! Likely going to choose a new viewer tonight for last kit
Down to a science, one viewer is not responding - the secondary replacement viewer is not responding either. I'll put you in cue to win should both not respond!
Its not a wimshurst. Its a Kelvin replenisher or Voss , Giuseppe Belli did it first apparently WIMSHURSTs have two disks in opposite directions . Antonio Carlos M. de Queiroz is your friend.
i like the content but from the start i felt something was wrong/suspicious with the way the experiments are presented. Now i found the explaination, he is an actor :D , my actor-radar was triggered i still subscrbied.
I am honored you enjoyed my content. Thanks for watching. None of it was false, pure physics. I use my actor background to be comfortable in front of camera (though episodes like this one are really old and I was new still). The opposite, is the thousands of youtubers who look like they are having an anxiety attack because a camera is on them. I’m not one such.
@@PlasmaChannel i hope you dont take it personal, i just dont like TV-Shows.They are produced with a characteristic style of acting/red line which i recognised here. Ilike the experiments and i respect you take the time to produce the videos. Just the gestures are a bit over the top imho. But i am no measurement, just a random comment ;D
Hyper Hektor I really appreciate your input actually! In the beginning a lot of my videos were really ‘acted’ and I look back on them wishing I ‘acted’ less. I was still new haha. Most of the videos from the beginning of 2019 and newer are a lot better in terms of quality. Cheers!
Many thing we enjoy are not practical. Art, racing, etc. it comes down to enjoyment for many. Saying it does nothing useful is entirely subjective as well. It won’t wash your dishes or safe you in a car crash. But it will provide you a high voltage power source to use for ionization studies and, admittedly, for fun.
@thedoctor 123472 99% of the people watching this will never get invited to a party. Watching a spark? How long do you sit and watch a tiny spark? A minute? 15 minutes? An hour? 12 hours? After 2 seconds I am so bored. I would love to see this group discover sparklers. They would soil themselves with excitement!!
Mike, you clearly have never partied with engineers. Imagine college students, but with money. As for watching the spark - this is a powersource. You can do dozens of fascinating experiments with it. If it's not your cup of tea - all good mate. No worries.
@@Krummers1 You are the sad one. You are amazed by a piece of paper wavering slightly or a flame moving a wee bit. The first 4 "mystical " examples could be accomplished by a 99 cent fan. The first 3 could be done by blowing at the paper or flame. This guy is paid to advertise this gimmick so losers like you will buy it. If you used your brain for a second you would see it is obvious this guy is not going to say bad things about the free products he gets or else no one will send him anything and both parties will have to actually do something constructive for a living. He has to make it sound like something "mystical" It is SellTube and you are the one of the gullible buyers. So all 3 parties involved are the definition of sad. Greed, dishonesty, and stupidity.Better practice saying "do you want fries with that" because that is all you have to look forward to.
+Plasma Channel haters gonna bark. don't worry Jason. they ain't gonna bite. you make awesome explanatory videos. he just deserve them people who truly appreciate do.👍👍
Also, what’s wrong with reviewing products ? It’s not like it is irrevelant on this channel, to review an 100+ years old electrostatic machine… Besides, I personnally bougth the device before the video was out and I can assure it is an amazing toy to play with. I love all those science-toys, I have a dozen of them (Tesla coil, Stirling engine, Mendocino motor, Hero engine, Crookes radiomater, etc.) and this Wimshurst machine is one of the cheapest of all, but still having an amazing quality. It totally has it’s place on this channel, and I’d love to see more of these science-toys presented here!

That is a great episode idea.
YESSS! Please make it happen
very nice, any idea how to produce electrets sheets with fixed opositing charges each side?
Do you think you could generate enough motion with a hand crank instead of using the battery powered motor?
Could use this to charge up room so get spiritual activity ?
Short interesting and sweet, to day I learned. I have subscribed.
What do you guess the tesa-gun high voltages and currents are ?? It would good to know. Please share .
Can you built a stabilizer for Microwave oven transformer
I am not certain I understand what that item is?
That fire bending method was used in film as special effects I read somewhere before visual graphics. Film Major, specialized in visual effects
Can i add a capacitor (Layden jar) fo making stronger sparks??
Yes you can
It’s Leiden....
@@pinlaser2336 nope
