Greetings again Eric:

All of the experiments with the Van de Graaff can be done on the Wimshurst
and a few more since the Wimshurst has two polarities that may both be tapped
simultaneously. You can use the Van de Graaff *and* the Wimshurst for the
Lightening Plate, Electrostatic Bells, Racing Ball, Electrostatic Motor,
Saint Elmo's Fire, Smoke Condenser, Volta's Hailstorm, Electrostatic Pom Pom
(Plume), Geissler Tubes, Electrostatic Discharge Spinner, etceteras.

Have fun,

Al Sefl
