Discover the fascinating world of static electricity through simple balloon experiments. You'll learn how static charges build up through friction, how they attract or repel objects, and see everyday ...

And it’s all because of static electricity. Static electricity is a build up of electric charge on an object, and it can have some pretty strange effects. See, everything around us is made up of ...

Several experiments were exhibited to show the ... by which gunpowder wus fired. The evolution of static electricity by evaporation was illustrated by pouring water into a small heated vessel ...

[Steven Dufresne] of Rimstar.org is at it again with another very functional science experiment. This week he’s showing us how he made a large electrostatic motor, also known as a Corona Motor.

Hold the circle of plastic up high and put the balloon underneath it. Let the plastic go and see if you can make it hover using static electricity from the balloon. If the plastic and balloon are well ...
