That's fairly incredible, thank you so much for sharing this! I've always been a big fan of living off-grid, and while this is definitely not enough power to run anything large (at this scale), I'd be willing to bet you could extract some serious power over time with a large model. I'd love to see the voltage used to charge a larger high voltage capacitor (or maybe stepped down to charge a small battery)! Keep inspiring, man!

The most often mistakes people make on super low power sources like this, is not taking into account sharp edges. You'll notice every single electronic component in my build is smooth, with no sharp edges. Sharp edges leak away high voltage charge really quickly. That's not an issue if you're dealing with high power levels. But these generators create a fraction of a single watt of power. Sharp edges may be your killer.

you would upload this video after i spent the entire day before watching youtube videos about electrostatic generators, one of which depicted this very phenomenon you are demonstrating here. i can't get over these all-too-frequent synchronicities.

Another sort of related static generator in the video Armstrong's Electrostatic Boiler kind of reminded me of the Kelvin water dropper using partially condensed steam to create a charge or water droplets being swept out by escaping steam. In reading about the Armstrong Effect on Wikipedia, he also used compressed air producing a similar effect. The steam version produced 22 inch sparks and interestingly had glass legs that were 3.5 inches diameter and 3 feet high.

Connecting a high capacitance HV capacitor between the cups would have been great. Eardrum bursting BANG

Nice episode. You can eliminate the chance factor with the triboelectric effect. Just put a plastic ring/collar inside the top right and bottom left to strip electrons off the water on that side. I've seen this done with two pairs of rings, so that the water passing through the second one neutralizes before going into a container. This is the first time I've seen the containers used as capacitor for the discharge. That might be slowing your charge collection, but it's an interesting effect.

YES!! I've been wishing youd build one of these! And you didn't disappoint lol Great vid!

1) Why is there only a small difference in voltage, despite the size difference. 2) How much can you increase the power of your smaller scale model? 3) Can you combine the power of more than one of the small ones, and generate more power? 4) Can you reach 10kv, without increasing the size of your model? 5) Can you store that energy in a battery for later use? 6) Finally, what practical uses are there in this application (It is small and compact, pleasant to look at and easy to build)

It really is one positively absolutely brilliant chunk of insanity

probably would work better with salt water, just more ions to work with. Also, laminar flow seems to be the key if the apparatus needs to push the ions back upstream. Actually, the slowest laminar flow would be optimal. I love the idea of combining all your ideas together, cant wait to see the the updates.

Very nice implementation of Lord Kelvin's generator! Imagine beefing up that spark by collecting the charge in a capacitor, and feed the capacitor output in series with the spark gap and primary winding of a Tesla coil... you see where I'm going with this right? Water / coffee powered Tesla coil! Though the sparks would be intermittent, every several seconds you should get some very brief streamers out of the secondary topload. If that works, perhaps use the output of the Tesla coil to further ionize the water tray that is the source of your Kelvin generator.... more power!

Nifty AF ! & as always.

When it comes to coffee if I'm drinking it for the energy I'll go black and if I'm drinking it for enjoyment I'll add just a little bit of sugar and sometimes creamer or 'creamer'. The type and brand of coffee is also important, I've never been a fan of Maxwell House coffee (others seem to love it). I have always liked Folgers for a cheaper coffee and Starbucks actually does make some good higher end coffee (I know there's probably better high end coffees out there but I'm usually cheap and when I do want something higher end Starbucks is the easiest option).

I really love this channel as you are playing with high volts😃🤓, I would like to call you as real life flash.⚡⚡⚡

The problem with your theory of operation is that whilst, at any given instance, one stream may have more (say) +ve ions than the other stream, over a short period of time the number of +ve and -ve ions in either stream will balance out, unless there's some mechanism that drives ions of a particular charge to one specific stream. The operation reminds me of the Wimshurst machine, and I suspect it's more closely related to the operation of that than to what you suggested.

Enjoyed!! Thank you! What make you think to use coffee?

Lord Kevin would be proud of your elegant design. Have you checked the acrylic for a surface charge? Now, if you could pump the water back up but the stream would have to become drops so the water is isolated electrical, that would make a very nice improvement.

What is the field of study I need to follow to be able to research, manufacture and test like you or study high voltage? Hope to reply.

What are the effects of heating vs cooling the base water? Could you reverse the flow of the water as steam and produce a similar reaction or is it going to be too dense to produce Ionic pressure when making power?
