 ===== Description =====
-Electrostatic windmill    Classes Used: PHYS 153, Phys 102
+Consists of a conductive metal 'wheel' or 'windmill' with radially protruding spikes ending in 90-degree turns and a stand with a needle on top that the wheel balances on.
-action of points   Updated on 06/10/13
 ===== Purpose =====
 To show the "action of points", that charge can flow off pointed parts of a conductor maintained at a high potential.
 ===== Apparatus =====
-Van de Graaff generator, windmill

 ===== Setup =====
-Place windmill on top of the Van de Graaff generator. The windmill rortates when the generator is turned on.
+Place windmill on top of the Van de Graaff generator. When the generator is turned on the windmill will begin to rotate.
+===== Notes =====
+The Van de Graaff generator vibrates significantly while running, so a piece of tape may be necessary to prevent the windmill from falling off of the generator.
-===== Notes =====
+The electrostatic windmill needs a high voltage to start turning, so move the grounding 'wand' far away from the head of the generator.
