Description

Intended for all the usual electrostatic experiments, but especially where continuous production of a high voltage is required. They have Perspex insulating components, rubber belt, polished metal dome and a separate discharging sphere. The low voltage powered model is designed for operation on a 3 to 5 V D.C. supply, capable of providing a current of 1.5A power input is via a pair of colour coded 4mm sockets. Mains operated versions are provided with 1.5m of three core mains cable, the earth core of the mains lead being connected to the metal structure of the apparatus. Both low voltage and mains versions also have independent 4mm earth sockets.

GENERAL SPECIFICATION:

Charge collecting belt flexible rubber charge collecting combs aluminium mesh, aluminium dome of 175mm diameter, removable connections 4mm sockets in dome and base voltage developed up to 200KV, depending upon ambient conditions, with a spark length of up to 75mm discharger spherical, 75mm diameter, mounted on a rod for holding in the hand or supported by a laboratory stand and boss. The end of the rod is drilled to take a 4mm plug.
