Details

Here is the corrected text: The Van de Graaff generator is a simple device designed for electrostatic experiments where a continuous source of high voltage is required. It can be used to demonstrate several physical concepts, including electrostatics, conservation of charge, conduction, and ionization. Static electricity is a familiar concept that we encounter on a daily basis, explaining why static cling affects our clothes, the shock we sometimes experience when touching a doorknob on a dry winter day, and why we can cause a friend's hair to stand on end by "charging up" a balloon. This DC motor-driven Van de Graaff generator measures 22 inches tall and produces up to 220,000 volts. Ideal for demonstrating the transformation of energy from mechanical to electrical. The set includes a polished and hand-spun 7.9-inch Van de Graaff dome, a 4-inch discharge wand, an assembled base with an attached DC motor, a 3-prong power cord, an electrostatics accessories kit, and an experiment guide with activity questions for learners. Specifications: 120/240V, 50/60Hz, input wattage: 20 W max., fuse: F 315mA / 250V. The charge-collecting belt is made of silicon rubber, which has excellent insulation resistance. Belt tracking is easily adjusted, and the charge-collecting combs are made of aluminum mesh, clearly visible.
