the Leyden jar is a critical part of early electrostatic experiments. Effectively a static electricity storage device, it was independently discovered twice, first by a German named Ewald Georg ...

[Steven Dufresne] of Rimstar.org is at it again with another very functional science experiment. This week he’s showing us how he made a large electrostatic motor, also known as a Corona Motor.

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

When two objects have the same static charge, they move away or repel one another. Rubbing a balloon on hair causes electrons to move from your hair onto the balloon, giving the balloon a negative ...

Watch as tiny pieces of foil magically dance and float inside a bottle! This fascinating experiment demonstrates the invisible force of static electricity and shows how electrical charges can move ...

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, builds on work the team conducted back in 2016 and an idea ...

Discover the fascinating world of static electricity through simple balloon experiments. You'll learn how static charges build up through friction, how they attract or repel objects, and see everyday ...
