Static Whirl

Electromagnetism

★Exhibit Content: Electrostatic force ★Interaction: Electromechanical interaction ★Operation: Continuously turn the handwheel, drop the ball from different ball inlets, and observe the changes in the ball's motion under the electrostatic force. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a bowl with a ring of iron pieces attached, an acrylic ball inlet, a ball, and a handwheel. During participation, visitors turn the handwheel and drop the ball into the bowl through the ball inlet, observe the ball's motion state inside the bowl, and will find that the ball continuously revolves inside the bowl. Through interaction and observation, visitors understand that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. ★Scientific Principle: Metal pieces are evenly bonded to the concave pot, and two adjacent metal piece electrodes have opposite polarities. When the handwheel is turned, the two charge plates of the Wimshurst influence electrostatic generator rotate in opposite directions to generate static electricity, energizing the positive and negative electrodes. The interactive ball has a conductive coating on its surface. When dropped, if it passes the negative electrode, it becomes negatively charged, and is then repelled by the negative electrode and attracted to the positive electrode; after reaching the positive electrode, it becomes positively charged again, and thus performs revolving motion in a cycle.
