40. Electric Field Projection

An E-field projection device with self-contained fluid is available. You can change the electrodes and show several different field patterns such as +/- point charges, parallel plates and others in a few minutes. This device is charged by a piezoelectric gun, not the Van de Graaff as shown in the animation below.
