Electric Whirl

Product Code : ILS-PLE-10197

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Electric Whirl (Product ID: 10197) as part of its physics lab equipment range. It is a pointed star wheel that spins when charged to high voltage, showing discharge from sharp points.

Quick Answer

The wheel is a 60 mm six-pointed star with every point curved the same way. It rotates freely on a pivot on a short stand, and the round base has a 4 mm socket for connection to a high-voltage source. Charge leaks from the sharp points and ionises the air; the charged air is pushed away and the wheel turns in the opposite direction by reaction.
