Mini Lord Kelvin Replenisher —- A simple electrostatic generator

This is an electrostatic generator that is based on the ‘Lord Kalvin Replenisher’ invented in 1867. What I show here is a small version of the device built by Thomas Kim here at YouTube. This type of electrostatic generator is called an ‘influence’ machine and works on a different principle than the Van de Graaff generator..
