Hi, I am trying to design an electrostatic generator that works well in high humidity. At the moment I'm looking at a van de graaf generator and covering the metal sphere with an insulator and only leaving a little bit exposed.
Is this safe? And will it increase the maximum charge?
My...
Yeah I am not too sure, i think your right that more research is needed. I have had a go with inductive charging but it needs to be set up really precise. I thought maybe this way it would be nice and simple but it turns out that its not the case. I will look into electrolysis now as I am not...
no i think your right, AC is'nt anygood to directly charge water! atleast we're thinking along the same wavelength.. no pun intended :)
I can't help but think maybe the current is gounding out somewhere because from what i understand you simply charge the water directly with a high voltage DC...
The tubing is an insulator, along with the tank that I am using. One area I am slightly concerned with is the electric motor shaft that pokes through into the cup making contact with the water. However I've checked to see if the electric can leak out through the electric motor's main wires...
I have used a flyback transformer from an old computer monitor. I've used the cable from that and connected it to the end of the tubing where the water comes out and into the rotating cup. What is it that your thinking? Can you think of any possibilities where I am going wrong?
Hi, I'm trying to build an electrostatic spray system. They are commonly used for spraying cars and pesticides onto fields of crop efficiently and easily. The spray is given a negative or positive charge that makes the spray attracted the opositely charged target (car or plant etc), ensuring...
