Van De Graaff Generator

Product Description

Nvis 6020 Van De Graaff Generator is a standard apparatus for demonstrating the presence of static electricity.

Overall, the concept of Van De Graaff Generator is very simple. A belt passes over two rollers, made of different materials (Teflon and Aluminum). Two metal combs are held near the belt surface and the lower roller is attached to the electronic motor. This device harnesses an effect called Electrostatic Induction in order to pump electrical charge. These electrical charges get accumulated on the surface of the aluminum dome. As a result, sparks are seen if the grounded aluminum sphere is brought near the dome, depicting the phenomenon of corona discharge.

The working of Van De Graaff Generator involves the movement of the insulating belt over two rollers. The belt carries electrical charge toward the aluminum dome, where the charge accumulates on its surface. This explains how the Van De Graaff Generator generates high voltage and demonstrates the effects of static electricity. The working of Van De Graaff Generator also helps students understand electrostatic induction and charge accumulation.

Nvis 6020, Van De Graaff Generator is an ideal platform to enhance education, training, skills & development among our young minds.
