I recently bought a Van De Graaff Generator which I remember from my school science lessons. This generated static electricity at very low current. I wanted to build a new piece of my Great Ball Contraption that used electrostatics to move objects. This works by charging the ball with a positive or negative charge so it attracts the next oppositely charges terminal.

XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
