The electrostatic generator was designed by Martinus van Marum (1750-1837), the first director of Teylers Museum, and built by the famous instrument maker John Cuthbertson. With the aid of this machine, van Marum planned to conduct experiments in the field of electricity. He used the generator in combination with a battery of Leyden jars and was able to generate sparks of 300,000 volts.

Throwing Seeds I breathe song into the day. I breathe light into the night. I scatter seeds - throwing them into the wind, planting them with a firm hand in rich earth, nestling them gently in loam, in minds, in hearts. What I plant, I nurture. What I nurture grows away from me and I start again.
