Hi, I'am trying to find this book "Electrical Influence Machines" related to the Pidgeon machine that looks like a testatika, I want to understand how it work, but i cannot find the book on the net, I see one site where you can buy but you need to read it online, Since i hate staying in front of the computer to read stuff like that, I prefer to print it, So is someone know a link or have the orignal doc in PDF format?

Thanks

Hi,

What kind of materials did you use for the discs? both the same, or based on the Triboelectric series?

I have build it almost on the attic, but i have a problem with the tempature, sometimes its very cold there, and another time its less cold. and then the discs crimps more then the lamels, so some lamels felt from the discs.
So i have to move it to another room on the first floor. but that room is fulled by a bath for the bathroom. lol.
And 2 januari our sun is born, so very busy at the moment. ( every 4 houres feeding )

But I have allready setup one disc ( vinyl ) and works fine with rotating. ( I use 2 bearings for one disc ). and it rotate very straight ( one meter disc's ) so I want to use a distance about 4 mm between the disc's.

I can also get the long glass tubes, but they are very expensive ( one tube 120 cm long , and 7 cm in diameter cost about 80 euro's ) LoL

Greetings Peter from Holland.
