A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

This exhibit uses electromechanical interaction to allow visitors to intuitively experience the arc and arc climbing phenomenon generated after the Jacob ladder is started. The exhibit consists of two symmetrical sheep horn electrodes and a high-voltage generator. When participating in the experience, visitors can observe: a dazzling and bright arc will appear at the bottom of the horn electrode, then continuously rise and disappear along the two horn electrodes, and then the arc will circulate at the bottom and climb upwards. At the same time, the air will make a "crackling" sound, allowing visitors to feel the charm of related electromagnetic phenomena in the intuitive visual and auditory experience. one Under the command of the staff, stand in the designated viewing area 2 of the exhibit Maintain a safe distance, wait quietly for the staff to carry out exhibit operations, observe the entire process of arc generation and ladder climbing. Arc ladder climbing principle: After the air in the area where the arc is located is ionized, the temperature will quickly rise; The heated air will expand and flow upwards, thereby driving the arc to rise; by.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
