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.

#365DaysOfAwe
FOR DAY 14 OF 365 DAYS OF AWE, I am in awe of the tiny bubbles that form on the inside of my water glass, just because the oxygen that has been trapped in the water bonds there due to surface tension. It’s just lovely.
