Mr. E. Machine: The Enigma Machine — Part 3 Repealing Ohm's Law

摘要

The Enigma Machine generates high voltage pulses that are safe to play with. In the first two installments, we saw how to build it and witnessed some of the more obvious strange effects. The vibration effect (where a dry finger brushes an empty soda can on the machine causes a vibration, but a damp or stationary finger does little) is probably the most apparent. This month, we'll look at some of the less obvious — but still very strange — effects. We'll also show how you can transfer an electrical charge without an electrical current or — to put that in another way — violate Ohm's Law.
