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.

The inclined plane is a simple machine because it can be used to use less force.
There is an article in wikipedia that shows the machine
-- Wimshurst machine -- Van de Graaf generator

The power of a wimshurst machineis proportional to the size of the leyden jars.

a machine that is simple to use
Machine B will use more power.
In real life, there is no such machine. So there are no directions on how to use it.
