    I Transferring static charge from a Wimshurst machine to a foil pipe

    Thanks again Kuruman. I think you just spotted my error. I started with I need charges to influence the electric field and push the water away. Went through a phase of trying to use voltage multipliers to pump electrons and create the charge. I think at that point my mind became clouded with I...

    I Transferring static charge from a Wimshurst machine to a foil pipe

    Hi Kuruman. Thanks for the interest. Simple as that for what I am trying to do atm. So there are sharp points ie the end of the wires. The idea was that by charging the Wimshurst machine that the copper tape (under the red electrical tape) would have the same charge as the dome it was...

    I Transferring static charge from a Wimshurst machine to a foil pipe

    Hi everyone. I am an engineer by trade (don’t hold that against me!) but I was trying an experiment for the latest of my crazy inventions and am missing some key logic in static electricity which I was hoping you could identify. Equipment 1. Wimshurst machine (like...
