#007 Electrostatic High-Voltage Genecon -A variety of experiments using Accessory kits-

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Gently turn the handle to generate more than 10,000V of high voltage static electricity! A wide range of static electricity experiments now possible without the use of a Van Der Graff generator! Until now, high-voltage static electricity generators(Van Der Graff Generators) were required to carry out electrical discharge experiments between the Hamilton flywheel, the Moore motor and metal collecting electrodes.

The science of static electricity - Anuradha Bhagwat

The Volta effect does indeed correspond to a weak electric potential developed by the contact of different metals. This effect was first discovered by Alessandro Volta, and can be measured using a capacitance electroscope comprised of different metals. However, the actual effect is not sufficiently strong to account for the action of electric batteries.

Based on the observation of contact electrification, scientists attempted to explain how electricity is generated in an electric battery, or the Voltaic pile, as it was then called.[3] This theoretical view was eventually replaced by the current theory of electrochemistry, namely, that electricity is generated by the action of chemistry and the exchange of electrons between atoms making up the battery. An important fact leading to rejection of the theory of contact tension was the observation that corrosion (chemical degradation of the battery) seemed unavoidable with its use, and that the more electricity was drawn from the battery, the faster the corrosion proceeded.

In the late eighteenth century, scientists developed sensitive instruments for detecting "electrification," otherwise known as electrostatic charge imbalance. The phenomenon of electrification by contact, also known as contact electrification or contact tension, was quickly discovered. When two objects were touched together, sometimes the objects became spontaneously charged. One object developed a net negative charge, while the other developed an equal and opposite positive charge.

The natural phenomenon of static electricity has been known since antiquity. It was recorded by Thales of Miletus in the sixth century B.C.E. Scientific research into the subject began when machines were built to create static electricity artificially, such as the friction generator developed by Otto von Guericke in the seventeenth century. The connection between static electricity and storm clouds was famously demonstrated by Benjamin Franklin in 1750
