Corbett's electrostatic machine is a high voltage static electricity generating device that was made by Thomas Corbett. It was used by Shaker doctors for medical treatment in the early nineteenth century. The machine consisted of a rotating glass jar that produced an electrical charge by means of a crank wheel that was turned by hand. This charge was stored in a glass container that was released later to a patient for a cure. Corbett's machine is in the collection of the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village in the state of New York USA.
