A Wimshurst machine is an electrostatic generator used to produce high voltages through the process of electrostatic induction. It consists of two counter-rotating discs that create friction, generating static electricity which is collected and amplified by Leyden jars or other capacitors. Commonly used in educational demonstrations, it illustrates principles of electrostatics, induction, and charge separation. Additionally, it has historical significance in the study of electricity and early electrical experiments.
