The voltage this generator makes, is absurd. This is my journey, circling back after 17 years, to build a potent museum quality Van De Graaff Generator. Thank you to Museum of Science Boston for letting me use footage of their generators (largest in the world)! See their full video here: • What’s inside the Van ...

Wow this was super well done. The garden gazing ball was brilliant. Back when I was first getting started with science the stupid top load was always the thing preventing me from building a van de graff generator myself. The hang spun balls sold specifically for this just cost too much. But those gazing balls are dirt cheap! Suddenly the idea of building that particle accelerator isn't so far fetched.
@PlasmaChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Hey T.E., thanks for the compliments. Yeah, the gazing ball is a great option. Just be prepared for hours of dremel work to get the right fit at the base. It took me nearly 2-3 hours to get the right fit. I honestly love Van De Graaff generators now. I had the same issue growing up!

When I was a mad scientist teenager I wanted to build a van de Graaf generator, but I couldn't source all the needed stuff - this was in the mid 1970s. But I built a Tesla coil instead and managed to jam TV and radio in every direction for about a mile. Mission accomplished! Actually I liked to just watch and play with the discharge... I ended up as a theoretical physicist.

This is the most difficult project I have ever attempted. I have been building mine for over a year primarily because the belt keeps drifting. Every time I make a change to keep it centered something else goes wrong. The two times it has worked consistently produced great sparks so that keeps me motivated. Hopefully your video will help solve some of my problems.

Nice job! If you wrap wool around the bottom roller it increases surface area which enhances charge rate. For the sphere, I always had trouble with bleed-off around the cut edges. Electrical tape didn’t really work as well as I hoped. The best way I found to increase the voltage potential is to take a silicone air tube for fish tanks and cut a slit lengthwise and slip it over the cut edge of the sphere. I tried just resting it on a ring like you did, but It didn’t really help. With the edges better covered, the sparks were much more powerful in my case.

i saw multiple designs where the top roller is static and doesn't move. Would that improve the output due to more friction? Also: Are those the best materials or how would i be able to find better ones? Is there some kind of value i can search for? And is there a way to minimize the current but keep the voltage? for example topload shape? i'd very much like to build my own version but don't have enough budget to try out lots of designs / materials so i'd like to get the best experience i can for as little as possible.
@MervynPartin 2 жыл бұрын
The top roller has to rotate as friction here could lead to belt failure. The charge is built up in the lower roller by contact and separation- it doesn't actually need friction between the roller and belt for the charge, just enough to make sure that the roller drives the belt. The top load should be spherical if possible, with a smooth surface. Any seams or projections will reduce the voltage attainable. Sorry it's taken 10 months for this reply as I have only just found this channel.

Great project. Look ls very professionally! Where did you find such roller? Can you give simd advise. It is really tough to find it

Now those are some sparks ;D Great build! (as usual... hehe) You've got me interesting in building one, but I've got an oscilloscope and tesla coil already on the list o.o

It’s very clear that you are an Artist of Science and this is the key to your success my friend. I appreciate your quality builds and clean, clear instructions. A true teacher of our time for the ability to transfer knowledge and understanding to others. Thank you for your time and energy you put into your videos. I’ve always been a person that wants to ‘make things better’. Whether it was cheering someone up or being a father to children whose dads weren’t ready. Science stuff is no different and I was wondering if you could increase your spark strength by adding aluminum foil or something similar? 🤔

Your comment is much appreciated. I strive to create the highest quality videos I possibly can. I'm....trying to relax my grip a bit on the "perfectness" of my videos, but glad you enjoy my style. Adding aluminum foil to which part? Adding it to the ground plate, yes it would help with spark length.

What about foil on the belt? Or maybe a salt water solution on the belt? 🤔 just some ideas. I have some interesting stuff that you might be able to do some kewl stuff with using nano carbon. Similar to Graphene but with many thousands of layers. I’ve built several things over the last few years and I’ve come to the point of adding high voltage into the mix. I’m actually kinda terrified of high voltage and I could have been hit by lightning in another life 🤣. I’ve been watching your videos to help me get a better understanding of how to do things right. My HV is coming from two neon sign transformers and an Arc Welder. So yeah, I am trying not to fry stuff. 😎🤔

You can make one of these with a 1x 30 inch belt sander. I learned this by accident while sharpening knife blades with the belt sander. I was getting massive shocks every time my finger touched the metal base

That's actually really cool. Turns out, that is pretty much how this device was invented. It was inspired by industrial belts and pulleys in the 1800's building up static.
