A colaboration:
This is not a Wimshurst machine, but a different kind of electrostatic
machine designed by Dan Bowlds:

Essentially, it's a variation of a Holtz machine, with the two inductor
blocks in the frontal disk charged by corona points that point to the
output charge collectors.
There is a short description of it (search for "Bowlds") in:
