Winslet Machine Experiment

Winslet Machine Experiment

The Winslet machine is an electrostatic generator invented by James Winslet in the late 19th century. It generates high voltage through two relatively rotating insulating disks and a series of metal brushes and electrodes. In experiments, the Winslet machine can demonstrate electrostatic phenomena such as electric sparks and corona discharges, which are commonly used in teaching and demonstrating the principles of electrostatics.
