Testatika small machine testbed

[Implosion]

The Disks are Polycarbonate ( Lexan ) 51cm , useing copper foil on front disk and aluminum foil tape on the back disk

Ah ok, and the static is generated by the brushes? like the wimhurst machine?

Ah thx for your answer.
That is good, that the discs are getting static by his own. and not by brushes.

Up date - new devlopment with the Polycarbonate  (Lexa disks) , It seens the Ion or Ozone is starting to detierate the front belt hub and the mounting screw holes. I haven't tryed to pull power off the disks so this is what may have lead to the early detieroateion of the parts. Mike

Hi Motorcoach1,
looks good.
Now you need to pulse via corona dischare some
granite rocks in a Leyden Jar,
cause the original Testatika runs on excited radioactive Beta
Decay probably from natural granite or mountain crystal rocks
that contain a lot of Kalium 40,which can be excited to decay much
faster via RF high Voltage pulses.

Good luck.

Regards, Stefan.
