The Wimshurst machine
« on: November 13, 2021, 11:04:40 am »
Bought a Wimshurst machine, very cool so also made a Ben Franklin bell house which he actually had in his house.
If a storm was nearby the bells would sound, if lightening hit the lightening rod it would jump between the bells and light the whole room up.

These are so cool!

Been wanting one for the last decade as an accessory, but their usual pricetags has always kept my urge at bay 8)
