TUTOR4K. Electric Connection

This machine is going to show you the beauty of electrostatic induction.

Glorious.

Mm-hmm.

It generates high voltage, so whereas the energy, the charges, they build up on these poles,

the potential difference reaches incredible amounts, hundreds of thousands of volts.

Isn't that amazing?

What a delightful...

Machine. Yes, it's a delightful machine.

It's a mechanical machine, so this handle here is what is used to rotate it and to cause electricity to come.

Can you see that?

No, no, no,... no,no. You don't touch anything. I'm the only one touching this.

This is my jam.

Why did you bring it inside? I can't even touch it.

Well, it's dangerous. Any electrical experiment can be potentially dangerous.

Look at those lighting jars. They're key letters, for God's sake.

Okay, so...

You ready to try this?

So this part comes like that. I've got a piece of paper.

What we do is we put the paper in between the chargers, okay?

You're going to hold it there, and when I turn it, you can put the paper...

You pick up the paper right there, put it all the way in there just like that. Don't touch anything.
