Handheld Static Electricity Generator

The 15 page illustrated guide explains the science of static electricity.

Handheld static electricity generator.

This high voltage generator can electrify a persons entire body with a static charge more powerful than rubbing even the softest footie pajamas on a carpet could ever muster. In electricity generation a generator is a device that converts motive power mechanical energy into electrical power for use in an external circuit sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines gas turbines water turbines internal combustion engines wind turbines and even hand cranks the first electromagnetic generator the faraday disk was invented in 1831 by british scientist. Watch the static charge suspend the included mylar strips and then collapse them with a touch of your finger only to watch the strips pop back up. With this portable van de graaff generator you can perform many classic static electricity experiments.

So these are the truly important concepts to understand. Electric generator all share the same basic principles. Any time you use electricity you are using energy that came from somewhere else. 4 hand crank generator.

This grants the wearer the ability to do some pretty amazing things some of which are shown in the first segment of the video. An electrostatic generator or electrostatic machine is an electromechanical generator that produces static electricity or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current the knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations but for millennia it remained merely an interesting and mystifying phenomenon without a theory to explain its behavior and often confused. All you need are a few bits of tape an aluminum can and batteries. Whether it s a coal plant running water or wind power comes from some other form of energy.
