Summary

Description
English: Drawing of electrophorus electrostatic generator, invented by Johan Carl Wilcke in 1764, from an 1840 chemistry text. It consists of a 'cake' of dielectric resinous material like wax, at bottom, and a metal plate on an insulated handle that can be placed on it. After charging the bottom plate by rubbing with fur, the top plate could be repeatedly charged by placing it on the surface and grounding the top by touching the small ball, then removing it. Alterations: removed caption and part labels, increased brightness.
