Hi,

I'm an exhibit designer/builder/repairman for a smallscience museum in Aurora Illinois.
I have been making models gadgets and scrap parts since high school in the mid 60's.
I thought I'd show some pics as an intro

A triplex sectorless Wimshurst machine with 18 inch disks  :zap: :bugeye:



some engines



an LTD Stirling engine



South Bend heavy 10 lathe with overhead drive to milling spindle



Closeup showing simple indexing

hello and welcome  :wave:

that is an impressive ball turner you have there it looks enormous  :dremel:
i had to google Wimshurst machine  :scratch:

DavesWimshurst:
Jason,
High voltage leaks off from sharp curves rapidly.  If I recall correctly this Wimshurst uses 2.5 inch balls.  I've made balls of 3.1 inch dia for another machine
