- Notes
-
Nairne's friction machine is arranged to give both kinds of charges. One of the conductors, attached to a comb, is charged positively as in the plate machine, while the other conductor attached to the pad is charged negatively. The machine uses a glass cylinder; it has a flap of silk attached to the pad passing over it to prevent loss. It is, however, found best not to collect both kinds of charge, but to join one of the conductors to the earth by a chain or wire.
An example of this machine is on display at the Spark Museum in Bellingham, Washington.
