Wimshurst influence machine!

New toy arrived, it’s an updated version of a Wimshurst influence machine (electrostatic generator) made with printed PCB’s and two CD player motors ! Comes as a kit you build yourself.
Will have to bring it to Electronics Night on Thursday

No we’re metric. At least 2m!
