Lord Kelvin’s Water-drop Electrostatic Generator
[attachment=19770]
What is Lord Kelvin’s Generator
Electrostatic charges are produced
The system seems to arbitrarily decide which side is positive and which is negative
Water drops can float or move against gravity
Work Towards Unifying Physics
Discussed with Joule the implications of heat being a form of motion (energy), and later endorsed Joule’s idea
Was mentor to James Clerk Maxwell, who acknowledged his debt to Thompson
Advanced the ideas of Michael Faraday
Other Accomplisments
Contributed to the design of the transatlantic cable
Was against AC current until the Chicago Exposition, after which he asked Westinghouse to use AC to harness the power of Niagara Fall
Possible Applications
Water ionizers can cost from $300 on up, I built my generator for less than $5
Negatively charged water is said to reduce aging, be a powerful anti-oxidant, remove plaque from teeth, and substantially aid plant growth
