The ideal equipment for simple demonstration of electrostatics. No electrical power is required. The unit will quickly generate a charge with regular discharge. Under correct conditions the spark will travel 50mm in air between electrodes. Two parallel plastic plates with sectors of aluminium sheet  are driven by a belt in opposite directions. The charge generated can be stored in two Leyden jars . Mounted on a polished wooden base. 200mm diameter.
