Debugging a Kelvin Water Dropper
Hi, This is an extremely late answer, and I'm very sorry (although the last messages seem to have nothing to do...) Thanks for those links, I did have a look. And for the photo you annotated, no the cables weren't touching at all, they were about 5 cm apart, and the blue coating was quite...- Silloky

Debugging a Kelvin Water Dropper
These are the coils in the container jars I am talking about. By electroscope coil and waving I man something like this : https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a2/Make-an-Electroscope-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/aid2461567-v4-728px-Make-an-Electroscope-Step-13-Version-3.jpg.webp Hope this makes it...- Silloky

Debugging a Kelvin Water Dropper
Hi, thanks for your answer. As I already explained in the post, the electroscope leafs do rise, but only if the containers aren't connected. I'm guessing that because of the coils in the containers, am I right ? Also, it should work if the coils are submerged right ? I do realise charges are...- Silloky

Debugging a Kelvin Water Dropper
Here is the annoying machine : I'll just detail certain parts that I'm sure you're going to comment about ! * The inductors aren't touching the wood, there's some insulating foam (about $7mm$ in width once squished) * The water stream breaks into droplets at about half of the inductor * The...- Silloky
