A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

(1) Electrostatic Bell: Activate the high-voltage electrostatic generator to immediately build a strong electric field, using electrostatic attraction to make the specially designed bell hammer strike the bell without contact, producing a crisp bell sound and intuitively demonstrating Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. (2) Electrostatic drum: The exhibit cleverly combines electrostatic mechanics and classical physics principles. The display cabinet is equipped with two pointed metal conductors, which generate "electric wind" by discharging the tips of the double pointed conductors through high-voltage static electricity, driving the central drum to rotate without contact. (3) Electrostatic floating paper: Press the button, and the paper will immediately float up, demonstrating the accumulation of charges and the electrostatic repulsion overcoming the gravity of the paper to achieve suspension, intuitively interpreting Coulomb's law.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
