Thank you for this impressive videos! In times of increasing electricty bills we need to learn the basics so we can eventually have alternative gadgets to power our homes.
Hello Yu, I really enjoyed this video. Well done. I'm almost 70yo. I hope I can figure out how all your experiments work. I'm watching many TH-cam videos about electrostatics at the moment. 🙂 Peter Nolan. Ph.D.(physics). Dublin. Ireland.
Why, for being witches or devils? The people committing the atrocities namely the vatican and the catholic church were the real devils. I'll bet that was just an excuse to murder those that they did because they were afraid that they would be able to take their power and control away from them, they're still doing the same thing, it's just hidden better now through the government leaders,militaries, and organizations that they own and/or control.
1:50 I have seen somebody on youtube balance those aluminium tin and place i think 3 crystal around it and then use their hands close to the crystals and the tin starts spinning
Thanks, nice video. I had an idea similar to this and wasn't sure if I would go for it. I have a couple of more experiments to try now and you made this one seem fun to do.
Electrons accumulate on the foil causing the bottle to be pushed away( to rotate away )and the sharp point on the foil provides a path for them to be neutralized, when the bottle rotates the other side of PVC Pipe. The sharp point works the same way as the metal wire in the first experiment.
Yes, one can store the static electricity in a Leyden jar. If enough is stored, one can creates spark and get zapped. For Leyden jar see: th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=leyden+jar
Hi , 2years bave passed i read your comment and just yesterday i had an idea about making static electricity automatically. Kinda like lightning is created. Its not entirely straight in my mind but it involves small form of ferrous element maybe as small as a sand particle. Inside a container that retains static electricity. The container itself speeds the particles with some form of wind. Particles crash into each other creating static. Of course the input has to be lower than the output or itd be worthless. But maybe that can be achieved by what type of container is used and what type of metal or element is used. Meh or something like that
Make a flat belt out of the brown cloth and use a motor to drive it. The constant rubbing of the belt on the PVC will produce a constant static charge.
Use a solar panel to make a motor turn... This will power a ven Der graf... Alternately you can attach one end of a layden jar to the earth and the other to a antenna... The higher the better and you can charge automatically both ways... The discharge is short but can be modified multiple ways to lower voltage and higher current using transformers, fractal capacitor switching or with resistors and possibly voltage rectifiers
If the bottle can move freely when it is given a push, then it is not likely because of the friction. If the humidity is over 60%, some experiments might not work.
I found 1" CPVC pipe and a brown, rough, cheap paper towel work the best. Kitchen towel does not work as well. But the most important factor is that air humidity has to be low; below 60%. i would suggest that get yourself a cheap humidity meter, selling for about $3.00.
It is a plastic bottle. One can use aluminium tape, or thin aluminium sheet taped to the bottle with scotch tape; covering only the top and the bottom part of the sheet. Good luck.
Yes, it does. But the static motor with sharp, pointy foils always rotates in opposite direction to the pointy end regardless where the PVC pipe is placed.
Candle flame generates ions and electrons. The ions neutralise the electrons that are on aluminium foil of electrostatic motor, and thereby starting the new cycle. th-cam.com/video/PwzoLsAdrRA/w-d-xo.html
i think static electricity should be taken more seriously. it requires way less motion for a practical amount of power. i could be wrong though considering torque.
Can someone please explain what happen. Was putting my pyjamas top in the dark and was fumbling to turning my top inside out. There was light sparks. The more I moved the top the more sparks appeared in the dark with crackling sounds. What just happened, is this a normal thing?
@@schmoley818 thankyou for replying. Its never happened before and seeing the blue light was really pretty to watch. I tried to do it again but no sparks this time.
Very impresive, and thankyou for the exquisite music

Good demo; but I was enchanted by the music!
Back in earlier centuries these people would be hanged, had a stake through their hearts and burned alive. Haha. Nice video...

Your totally right. If those certain ppl where born in the correct year we would be more advanced.
Well done!
you bring joy , great videos, thank you so much
Thanks for your kind remark.

Sir is there metal strips pasted on the plastic can on opposite sides?
Outstanding video
I love physic!
Thanks, nice video. I had an idea similar to this and wasn't sure if I would go for it. I have a couple of more experiments to try now and you made this one seem fun to do.
How
Very good demonstration, good job!
That's wild, sort of neat too.

Wow I'm impressed with this
Sir which material u used to charge it
cool demonstrations and well made.... sadly you need just a bit of humidity in the room and it works way worse :)
Not when u are an engineer and you have a continuous 50k DC volt generator at home.
what is the square thing under one of the cans?
Yu Peng, what is the function of foils with sharp points ?
I would like to understand better the purpose of foils with sharp

Very entertaining video

Omg you blew my mind.
Could you apply this to a cd wimhurst machine
This is a really awesome video! I'm definitely going to try this
Is there any way to harness this electricity for shocking people?
Yes, one can store the static electricity in a Leyden jar. If enough is stored, one can creates spark and get zapped. For Leyden jar see:

A layden jar is the exactly the reason i watched this vid
I was expecting how to make static electricity automatically but these are still amazing demonstrations

@@SuperLuiz52 I have a use for that, think it could be miniaturized?
@@archiboldterwilager2563 in theory yes itd be more practicle in smaller scale, i have honestly havent done the math or done any experiments on it.

Congratulations but I cannot get the electrostatic engine working. I don't know if it is a friction issue in the axis, Any ideas? Thank you!
If the bottle can move freely when it is given a push, then it is not likely because of the friction. If the humidity is over 60%, some experiments might not work.
@@yupeng5503 Thank you for your answer! I have tried to minimize the friction but still not working. Could be the humidity...
Does the diameter of the pipe matter? I tested this with a 1.25" pipe and got nothing
Were you insulated from the ground?
I'm having problems creating a static electric charge. Does it need to be a brown paper towel? I'm using a white one. and maybe my pipe is too thin?
I found 1" CPVC pipe and a brown, rough, cheap paper towel work the best. Kitchen towel does not work as well. But the most important factor is that air humidity has to be low; below 60%. i would suggest that get yourself a cheap humidity meter, selling for about $3.00.
Wow,thats awesome
I will try it
the bottle is made of plastic or glass????? please is urgent for my project
It is a plastic bottle. One can use aluminium tape, or thin aluminium sheet taped to the bottle with scotch tape; covering only the top and the bottom part of the sheet. Good luck.
Yu Peng, could we somehow use this static electricity to move/
bend water?
Yes, but it will only attract a very small stream of water
Yu Peng
If the PVC pipe is placed on the opposite side,will it turn the same direction as before or it will it turn clockwise?
Yes, it does. But the static motor with sharp, pointy foils always rotates in opposite direction to the pointy end regardless where the PVC pipe is placed.
@@yupeng5503 Thank you sir.Really appreciate the help.
Very fascinating
2:17 sorry mate just a collision glitch in the code. ill fix it rn
Thankyou
Yu Peng How does it work with a candle ?
Candle flame generates ions and electrons. The ions neutralise the electrons that are on aluminium foil of electrostatic motor, and thereby starting the new cycle.

how to get rip off ??
i will try thisssssssssssssssss in my style
do mahine se pvc pipe doondh raha kahi mil hi nahi raha. jaha dikh raha hai waha se nikal nahi sakta nahi to sutai yani pitai ho jayegi
Will the motor run forever just by the wire after you start it with the pvc
No
Me : Just put on the fan.
Some people plant a tree
Yessss hahaha
😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
