*Colors will vary!*
Simple and effective, this electrostatic plume consists of colored nylon string protruding from a central disc. The central disc is attached to a support rod and plastic base. If brought into contact with a strong electrostatic field from a Van De Graaff generator or Wimshurst machine, the nylon strings will stand up on end. A variety of electrostatic demonstrations are possible with this device.
For a great demonstration, try the following: Once charged, have a voluteer point something sharp at the plume, it will "pop the balloon", drawing off the electrical charge and making the plume drop, a knitting needle or even a pin works well for this.
