 ===== Description =====
-Creates electrostatic charge in a shocking way!
+Classic physics demonstration. Creates large potentials using the [[wp>Triboelectric effect]] with a rubber belt and a metal comb.
 ===== Purpose =====
-To illustrate electrostatic charge created by friction
+To demonstrate the effects of a large electrostatic charge on various objects and to demonstrate what coronal discharge looks like.
