Electricity Experiments

How can I get my electrscope to work?

I asked this question and has no answers to help someone please! My fellow science fair experiment and I (How do different materials react to static electricity?) of http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Elec_p023.shtml?fave=no&isb=c2lkOjEsaWE6RWxlYyxwOjEscmlkOjUyMjgwMA&from=TSW and the step by step procedure. The aluminum ball still has yet to attract or repel. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get it to work? What cause a failure? What am I doing wrong.?

Assuming that the electroscope built according to the instructions, the problem is that either have not generated electricity sufficient static or that it is leaking out of the electroscope. You might have wet hands: treating dry rubber gloves when you are driving the electroscope. For load generation: I have always found a balloon and a wool sweater for work. Try to put a wool sweater on a table and rubbing a balloon. Then lift the electroscope in the sweater with gloves. Good luck. Peter
