Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Wimshurst triplex machine. It's a double Wimshurst machine, using the close proximity between the central disks to increase the output current through greater induction and mutual shielding. The machine produces a high current (100 uA with the 36.5 cm disks rotating at 16 turns per second, 4 times more than a single Wimshurst machine with the same disks). With the original design, it reached only 8-12 cm sparks, eventually reaching 14 or 15 cm on dry days because with the rather small separation of the sectors it easily sparked through them and the neutralizer bars. By Dr. Antônio Carlos M. de Queiroz (in memoriam).
