Be creative electrostatic generator

AI Thread Summary
Electrostatic generators can be used for various experiments beyond just creating static electricity effects. Users suggest experimenting with gas discharge devices like fluorescent bulbs and neon tubes to observe interesting visual effects. Additionally, there are humorous mentions of using pets, like cats, to demonstrate static electricity in a playful manner. Overall, the discussion encourages creativity in exploring the capabilities of electrostatic generators. Engaging in these experiments can lead to fun and educational experiences.

Hey!

I just got this new electrostatic generator and I wanted to know if any of you guys have any cool experiments I could try. So far I have just managed to zap myself and make my hair stand up. Anyone have any ideas for how to make cool experiments?

You can try messing about with different types of gas discharge devices (fluorescent bulbs, neon tubes, etc.).
Then again, if you happen to have a cat handy...:rolleyes:

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
