Is the Wimshurst REALLY a constant current generator,

or is it a high voltage generator with a very large output resistance

OR is there any difference between these two.Light current 00:29, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

It's constant unless you use leyden jars to build up a charge. (you don't need leyden jars)
