Hi all:

I took some pictures of a big Wehrsen electrostatic machine that I
am building.

This kind of electrostatic machine was developed in the early 1900's,
as an improved version of the Holtz machine.
I had built another machine of this type before, with one half of
the size, that worked quite well. This page has a lot of informations
about these machines:
