The Wimshurst Machine

The classic high voltage generator as a fully functional cardboard kit. Wimshurst machines, invented around 1880, were for a long time the only reliable high-voltage sources, as they were needed for X-ray apparatus, among other things. Today they can be found, artfully restored, in museums such as the Mathematical-Physical Salon in Dresden's Zwinger and some even in

An unintentional touch of this Wimshurst machine is not dangerous: the capacity of the two Leiden bottles, i.e. the capacitors, is such that the strength of discharges remains far below the limits set by the authorities. This is literally a highly exciting pleasure for all those who have always wanted to really let it rip!
