{wiki=Large_electrostatic_generator_(Teylers)}
The large electrostatic generator at Teylers Museum, located in Haarlem, Netherlands, is a historic electrostatic machine known as a Wimshurst machine, which was built in the late 19th century. It is one of the oldest surviving examples of its kind and serves both as a scientific instrument and a demonstration of the principles of electrostatics. The Teylers electrostatic generator works on the principles of electrostatic induction and operates by using rotating discs to generate high voltages.
