very nice indeed !!

Nothing quite like a good measuring tool for gauging progress.

I made big Wimschurst machine. Its big, strong, and kicking ass how it works. Workhorse of many experiments. But I always liked simplicity. Because of that, I like so much simple design - like Voss machine

Even simpler:

Sm0ky2,

I have been inspired by your Voss machine and I'm in the process of building an influence machine similar to yours.

My build is coming along nicely but I'm having a little trouble finding a suitable low drag motor to drive it with.
Would you be so kind as to tell me what motor you used?

Thank you,
Cadman

I have been using small (brushed) dc motors. Hobby type.
I look for the smallest one that will turn the wheel
Without a lot of current draw.


it is best to get the wheel as free spinning as possible
