1 [2] [«Back ]   Click to Enlarge AEPINUS CONDENSER (LSE) Comprising two metal discs, each 75mm with variable separation, supported on insulating pillars & provided with insulating handles on the ends of the adjustment slide rods, 4mm sockets too are drilled onto the ends of the rods. A rectangular glass plate is supplied which mounts in clips between the two discs & may be easily replaced by a plate of some other material to show the effect of different dielectrics. The whole is mounted on a polished wooden base. Overall dimensions 225x150x175mm approx. See Enlarge Click to Enlarge ELECTRIC WHIRL (LSE) For demonstrating the effect of electric discharge from points. The apparatus has 60mm diameter six pointed star wheel with all the points curved in one direction. The wheel rotates freely on a pivot point mounted on a short stand & the stand is provided with a 4mm connection socket on the round base. See Enlarge Click to Enlarge FARADAY?S BUTTERFLY NET (LSE) For demonstrating that an electrical charge resides on the external surface of a conductor. Net with cord on insulating pillar with metal tripod base. Overall height 350mm approx. See Enlarge Click to Enlarge VAN DE GRAFF GENERATOR, MOTOR DRIVEN (LSE) The low voltage powered model is designed for operation on a 3 to 5V DC supply capable of providing in a current of 1.5 amps. Power input is via a pair of colour coded 4mm sockets. Mains operated versions are provided with 1.5 meters of 3 core mains cable. The earth core of the mains leads being connected to the metal structure of the apparatus. Both voltage & mains versions also have independent 4mm earth sockets with discharger of 75mm dia with handle. See Enlarge Click to Enlarge WHIMSHURST MACHINE (LSE) With two plastic plates dia. 30cm, each carries aluminium foil segments. Maximum spark length 75mm. The neutralizing bars are provided. The collecting brushes are carried on a large insulating beam. A pair of high capacity lyden jars are incorporated, which may be connected or disconnected as required. The complete apparatus is mounted on a wooden base with rubber feet.
