Guest uranio Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 i'm building a van der graff generator but i can't put it to work... i think everything is ok, the tube and the sphere (in my case a soda can) have to be closed? (i meant to be no contact with the atmospheric air) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 ok, this is probably a stupid question, but what is a van der graff machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 carefull though, they are high voltages. Indeed. During the winter I always drag a chain connected to the ground behind me. Wouldn’t want to build up those lethal static charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 when i read that, i got this image of someone being electrocuted by lightning every other second, dragging along behind him a massive old chain [from the anchor of a ship!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
