Re: Old books/magazines and the gems within
I was inspired by ( I think ) "Practical Mechanics Ed F.C,. Camm " to make a Wimshurst Machine and then used it to prime a Van der Graaf generator.
On a dry day the Wimshurst Macine would produce 6" long sparks but I had to stop using it much. It would blot out our 405 line TV picture in a shower of white dots.
