I came across a three Van Der Graaf generators in a closet here where I work. None of them have the discharge wand. Does anyone have any DIYs for a wand?
The discussion centers on the use of Van Der Graaf generators without discharge wands. Users have successfully created DIY discharge wands using an alligator clip, a wooden stick, and a ball of aluminum foil. The improvised wand effectively generates static electricity, demonstrating a practical solution for those lacking original equipment. The conversation also touches on the excitement of discovering such equipment in unexpected places.
PREREQUISITESEducators, hobbyists, and science enthusiasts interested in experimenting with Van Der Graaf generators and static electricity applications.
What fun. I wish I had a closet like that. But some of my co-workers found a V2 rocket in the bushes, but of course it was not in usable condition.nmsurobert said:I came across a three Van Der Graaf generators in a closet here where I work.
