| Summary, etc |
"Explore the history and the future of the science of electrostatics. Homemade Lightning: Creative Experiments in Electricity - 2nd Edition Learn about electrostatic generators--in this experimenter's guide. Filled with practical, as well as theoretical information, the book contains complete information on how to build your own Wimshurst and Van de Graaff electrostatic generators. Classic generator designs are discussed and illustrated with many original pieces of artwork from turn-of-the-century patent applications and other scientific resources. Extensive experiments including electrohorticulture, gravitation and electricity, cold light and electric tornadoes are presented in this fully updated edition. Throughout the book electrical anomalies, which represent the future of electrostatic research, are presented and explored." —Provided by the publisher<br/> |
