Motor-Driven Van De Graaff Generator, Specially Designed For Electrostatic Experiments And Where Continuous Source Of High Voltage Is Required., Each

Details:

The van de graaff generator is a simple device designed for electrostatic experiments and where 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 we encounter on a daily basis. It explains 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" tall and produces up to 220,000 volts. Ideal for demonstrating the transformation of energy from mechanical to electrical. Set includes a polished and hand spun 7.9" Van de graaff dome, 4" discharge wand, assembled base with attached dc motor, 3 prong power cord, electrostatics accessories kit and an experiment guide with activity questions for learners. • 120/240V • 50/60hz • input wattage: 20 w max. • Fuse" f 315ma / 250v charge collecting belt: silicon rubber having excellent insulation resistance. • Tracking: belt-tracking easily adjusted • charge collecting combs: aluminium mesh, clearly visible
