That was absolutely brilliant. I love the simplicity of picking up so much static electricity and creating an arc. Bloody brilliant mate.

[@stevetobias4890]

By the way, am really looking forward to seeing you run a motor off this. Would be cool to have a worm drive connect this to a fan from outside so it runs every time the wind blows and charges capacitor banks to run some DC stuff. Will need a decent regulator however.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

What a kick I got out of watching this. It was like watching a sort of Frankensteinian mad scientist at work in his secret underground dungeon lab. Just loved it. I have had a lifelong fascination with this sort of thing and this machine does my fovourite thing and that is high voltage sparks! Thanks Robert.

VERY Cool Build ! I remember reading somewhere that electrostatic generators like that were commonly used to power the 1st x-ray machines in doctors offices around the end of the 1800's & 1st decade or so of the 1900's. i bet yours is the first to use conductive carbon ink !!

they were mate and I'll bet it is lol

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

Awesome! Great idea for the brushes. I was hoping you would set the spark gap to one inch. Hey, one day I was messing around with a CFL bulb and a negative ion emitter from an air cleaner. I used just the bulb, removed from the circuit. I wanted to see if it would light up. I found out by accident that the bulb acts like a capacitor. Gave off quite a kick! Luckily, it did not damage my fingers.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

the max voltage is really dictated by the disk size these disks are a bit small for really really high voltages - maybe a coffee table next lol - I didn't know that about cels - so - good to know lol

Really impressed with your engineering. The final construction looks very Victorian and reminiscent of an HG Wells device. The term Victorian is not an insult, they were excellent mechanical engineers who built things to last. Some of their brass and glass scientific apparatus is beautiful to look at, when polished.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

[@mykulpierce]

@@ThinkingandTinkering If you ever get the itch there is another electrostatic device I've wanted to make (your Wimshurts approach inspires a path for it once I get set up in new home) that was designed by Sir Francis Ronald while at Hammersmith. His designed called for a pendulum which is kind of fun since he could attach a "motor" of his time based on clock work. His electrostatic research pioneered electrical engineering!

[@ianfisher6561]

The last couple of videos that you presented did not relate to the Whimshurst Machine. I was getting concerned that we may never see the completed project. Well I am not disappointed. This was a fantastic build with some great results.

[@jasonwitt8619]

Now it is official, you are a mad scientist because you have built the thing that looks and feels the part, LOL I love it mate. That thing has a strong spark on it. I wonder what would happen if you replaced the two carbon balls at the top with two spark plugs. That would be a sight to see.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

lol - it will throw quite a spark that's for sure

[@hanslepoeter5167]

excellent. I love the quality appearance of this build. This would be very usable for physics lessons for example. I use 1kV/mm clearance in air for functional isolation in some equipment. The actual breakdown voltage of air is about 3kV/mm but depends on many factors. So your voltage is a lot higher than you indicated.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I basically didn't know what it was going to be mate - so tbh I was just guessing - but yeah it was higher - I was surprised I didn't really think it would do so well

[@MarkSeve]

pauses video. Rob, please consider cleaning the lens. Surely the smoke can't be as bad there as it is here in Nevada. Seriously though, there appears to be some sort of smoky layer coating on the camera lens, was in the last couple videos as well. Makes everything hazy and diffuse. --Now back to the video. "..nice piece of scientific equipment'. Robert makes understatement of the year. Its a very beautiful and absolutely wonderful piece of kit. As usual, bravo, bravo!

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

cheers mate and for sure lol

[@dekutree64]

I'd recommend making a small Wimshurst and a large Bonetti machine. The sectorless style generates far more power for a given disc size (plus the discs never wear out since there's no contact between the brushes and discs), but it's hard to get started on its own unless the air is very dry. So it's good to have a Wimshurst around as a starter, but not much point building a big one like this since it will never be all that impressive. The Leyden jars are the only scary part on that thing. Without those, the energy in each spark is extremely small. My Bonetti machine makes sparks several inches long that are safe to touch (they sting just a bit).

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I like bonetti. machines too mate - but to be honest my favourite is the dirod

[@Paul_Wheller_with_an_h]

[@patbutcher1754]

Just watched this, and also the video on making powder cores for the coils from microwave transformers. You said that you were looking for further uses for MOT's. Well, here's an idea. Have you considered hooking up an MOT to the Wimshurst machine, in step-down mode, a la Herman Plauson. When used the normal way, an MOT puts out around 5kV to power a microwave oven, so feed it a couple of thousand volts in step-down mode, and maybe you could fast-charge a bank of your carbon batteries (or supercaps). I'm just speculating here... Your Wimshurst machine looks awesome, by the way.

[@conductiveinkalternative918]

Awesome build. Thank you.

[@jamest.5001]

Put a tiny motor on that thing, connect it to a door knob or toolbox, and you have a anti theft device, i don't think many thieves will be stealing something that is arcing like a spark plug! Ha-ha! Awesome work, and it looks nice also!!

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

lol - yeah would scare the hell out of anyone that's for sure

[@colleenforrest2823]

I'm going to have to try one of these with the ink. Awesome! Don't know if it's just a difference in video equipment or a real observation, but the sparks in other videos look a little bluish. Your sparks look more white. If that's a true color difference and not a video difference, i'm wondering if the whiter lighting was a result of using the ink instead of brass. Kind of like how stars have different colored spectra bands depending on what elements they are burning.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

go for it and to be honest I didn't notice anything special about the colour in real life so it might be the video - still if you build one you can let me know - I was thinking of building a dried as that is pretty much all painted and an easier build for sure - I did this because I just love the. look lol

[@totherarf]

The color is a function of the temperature (both stars and sparks). The spectral bands are frequencies that are absorbed by the gas round it ....... actually bands of light in a spectrum that are missing! Measuring how these spectral bands are shifted is how you work out how fast stars arg going (Red Shift or Blue Shift). One thing you need to watch with spark gaps is that they generate a lot of radio interference!

[@philipvernejules9926]

......interesting observation and explanation too.

[@MAGnetICus_Attractus]

@@totherarf yup and the FCC will come looking for you in America if you broadcast to loud.

[@rastamanralph6670]

I think when bending the brass bar will be better if you slide a long piece of steel tube on the end for leverage and it shouldn't transfer too much heat through it but you can wear gloves to be sure.

[@brianmccreary1369]

Great job. Makes me wonder if the current was ran through a current limiter like the welding one you presented if it would change from static to regular current n run motor.

[@brianmccreary1369]

Would a large difference in the surface areas of the electrodes change the voltage?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

the current is very very low mate - nano to microamps - it's just the voltage is high

[@stevecummins324]

Re inital charge...there's always some, but is it always the same polarity... Ie is the output polarity of a wimshurst fixed, or will they choose their polarity "randomly" on each start up? If random, can i suggest trying a piece of electrolet near one of the brushes to induce a bias.

[@HichamBOUKHABZA13]

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

it would kill the meter mate - I would need a HV probe attachment first and I don't have one of those - I could make one I guess

[@Corianas_]

@@ThinkingandTinkering ... I Hadn't realized the power output would have been that high right from the start. I had made the assumption that it was more capable of generating the higher voltage by storing it in the capacitors and building it up rapidly. but such assumptions are what cause injury and death... so, yeah. good point.

[@pennypincher5516]

yes it does - it will build up to the breakdown voltage of the capacitors or the wheels - which ever comes first really

I might need to give it more thought. :- The Greeks and Einstein were into thought experiments and they came up with notion of smallest indivisible parts of matter and relativity respectively .

nothing wrong with a good old thought experiment mate

[@newtonbomb]

Could you get some actual punchy power from one of these if instead of leyden jar style load capacitors you used beefy ultra caps and improve charge times by adding capacitors to each electrostatic leaf (negatively coupled on one wheel, positive on the other) so they have increased dielectric potential?

@@ThinkingandTinkering Good point, there are modern high voltage solutions that are much more energy dense than leyden jars though.

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

if you're afraid of running it full power, you can make smaller version of the capacitors to make them less dangerous, voltage should be about the same, but less capacity means less charge, less charge is less pain lol

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

it won't lower the voltage mate but it will lower the amount

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

waaait, wait, wait. the most interesting question is how high does the voltage go if you increase the breakdown distance? it's approx 1kV/mm also if you separate the balls very far, where does it arc through?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

it will build voltage until some other area of the machine reaches a breakdown voltage like the breakdown voltage of the caps through the glass or the gap between the sectors or between the plates - there is always a limiting voltage mate it just depends where it arises from - we can separate the balls and it will arc there as long as the distance between the balls creates a breakdown voltage that is lower than all the other potential breakdown points

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

@@ThinkingandTinkering yes, but the whole point is to make sure that this breakdown voltage is as high as possible. basically you want to maximize minimum arcing distance in your entire machine. there's also corona discharge that will start dissiparing your charge the more you charge it

Super capacitors usually have a low voltage tolerance, so like @99% Perspiration said, you would need a lot in series so as not to blow them up, but it’s probably even more in the multi-kilovolt range. Also transformers work with alternating current, this produces DC

[@fizzyelectricity]

@@ME-rv1pw so charging them might be tricky, and discharging would need an inverter before the step down transformer. If that worked, it would be a very low mechanical energy input generator. I gather there's a town somewhere using something like thus machine for it's power needs.
