  2. Electrostatic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator

    12" Quadruple Sector-less Wimshurst Machine (Bonetti Machine) An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical 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 ...

  3. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    e. Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor.

  4. Lichtenberg figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtenberg_figure

    A Lichtenberg figure (German Lichtenberg-Figur), or Lichtenberg dust figure, is a branching electric discharge that sometimes appears on the surface or in the interior of insulating materials. Lichtenberg figures are often associated with the progressive deterioration of high voltage components and equipment.

  5. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies slow-moving or stationary electric charges. Since classical times, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, ἤλεκτρον (ḗlektron), was thus the source of the word electricity.

    History of discoveries timeline. Year. Event. 600 BCE. Ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus described static electricity by rubbing fur on substances such as amber. 1600. English scientist William Gilbert coined the word electricus after careful experiments. He also explained the magnetism of Earth. 1660.

  7. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    linear particle accelerator. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column, creating very high electric potentials. It produces very high voltage direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels.

  8. Leyden jar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyden_jar

    Leyden jar. A Leyden jar (or Leiden jar, or archaically, Kleistian jar) is an electrical component that stores a high-voltage electric charge (from an external source) between electrical conductors on the inside and outside of a glass jar. It typically consists of a glass jar with metal foil cemented to the inside and the outside surfaces, and ...

  9. Electrostatic fieldmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_Fieldmeter

    An electrostatic fieldmeter, also called a static meter is a tool used in the static control industry. It is used for non-contact measurement of electrostatic charge on an object. It measures the force between the induced charges in a sensor and the charge present on the surface of an object. This force is converted to volts, measuring both the ...
