This is a list of the world's largest machines, both static and movable in history. ... Large Hadron Collider – The world's largest single machine; Ground vehicles
One of the biggest investigations in medical history began when a mysterious killer disease broke out during independence celebrations in Philadelphia in 1976: Legionnaires' disease. NOVA traces the search for a cause and cure—a search bedeviled by false trails, accusations of incompetence and cover-up, and increasing urgency as the death ...
The largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the world, built by Dr. Van de Graaff in the 1930s, is now displayed permanently at Boston's Museum of Science. With two conjoined 4.5 m (15 ft) aluminium spheres standing on columns 22 ft (6.7 m) tall, this generator can often obtain 2 MV (2 million volts).

Machines that generated static electricity with a glass disc were popular and widespread in Europe by 1740.

It was also found that the generator worked well even if the two liquid streams originate from different electrically insulated reservoirs. A model was proposed in which the electric charge results from the separation of the positive aqueous hydrogen ion and the negative aqueous hydroxyl ion as the water droplets form.
