This experiment demonstrates electrostatic acceleration and collision dynamics of 21 aluminum pellets inside a confined acrylic chamber.
A 13,000-volt potential is applied to a central aluminum strip, flanked by grounded electrodes, generating a strong electric field across the 4"x4" enclosure.
The setup includes one 1/2"-diameter oxidized aluminum sphere and twenty 1/4"-diameter pellets. Upon activation, the charged field induces rapid motion and frequent collisions, modeling particle behavior in high-voltage environments. The system highlights charge-induced kinetic interactions and boundary effects in electrostatic confinement.
