About WIMSHURST STATIC ELECTRICITY GENERTOR

A good electrostatic generator. Can produce spark up to 3 under favorable weather conditions. Two circular, 24 cm, acrylic plates have aluminum sectors pasted on their surface along the rim. Plates mounted parallel to each other and rotated with a handle and belt system in opposite directions. Jointless rubber belts with circulator cross- sections for smooth running. The static charge generated is conducted to a pair of Leyden jars through metal brushes and gets accumulated on the pair of the ball-shaped discharges. When the potential build up between the two dischargers is sufficient high, a transfer of charge takes place in the form of an electrical spark that jumps from one ball to another. Spark produced intermittently by the continuously rotating plates. Complete apparatus mounted on a wooden base. Earthing terminals for leyden jars. With instruction.

Efficient Electrostatic Generation

Utilizing dual counter-rotating acrylic discs and Leyden jars, the generator produces a high static voltage (up to 50,000 V). Its accurate performance supports clear demonstrations and experimentation, while the manual operation allows controlled, hands-on exploration of electrostatic principles.

Robust & Safe Design

With its anti-skid, non-conductive base and discharge safety rod, safety in classroom and lab settings is prioritized. The assembly incorporates high insulation resistance (> 10^12 ), durable stainless steel crank, and flexible brass collector arms for reliable and secure long-term use.

Ready for Educational Use

Pre-assembled and ready to operate, this generator is crafted for educators, students, and researchers seeking to demonstrate electrostatic effects in laboratories and classrooms. Its transparency and robust build make it suitable for repeated usage in varied atmospheric conditions (up to 60%% RH humidity).

FAQs of WIMSHURST STATIC ELECTRICITY GENERTOR:

Q: How does the Wimshurst Static Electricity Generator produce high voltage?

A: The Wimshurst Generator uses dual counter-rotating acrylic discs fitted with metal sectors and collector arms made of flexible brass strips. As you manually rotate the discs with the stainless steel crank, electrostatic charges accumulate on the Leyden jars, resulting in a potential difference up to 50,000 V.

Q: What safety features are included to protect users during operation?

A: This model includes an insulated plastic base for non-conductivity, anti-skid feet for stable placement, and a discharge safety rod that allows safe dissipation of stored charge, significantly reducing risk during experiments.

Q: Where can the Wimshurst Generator be used effectively?

A: Designed for laboratory and classroom environments, this device is suitable for physics experiments, electrostatics demonstrations, and educational activities in schools, colleges, and research facilities across India.

Q: When is the generator ready for use after delivery?

A: The WS-101 model arrives pre-assembled and ready to operate immediately upon receipt. Simply follow recommended safety guidelines and start your demonstrations or experiments without additional setup.

Q: What are the core benefits of manual operation in this generator?

A: Manual operation allows precise user control over the generation process, making it ideal for educational demonstrations. It also eliminates dependency on external power sources, ensuring uninterrupted learning and experimentation.

Q: How does humidity and temperature affect its performance?

A: With an operating humidity tolerance up to 60%% RH and a temperature range from ambient conditions to 45C, the generator maintains efficient operation and high insulation resistance in typical laboratory atmospheres.
