CAT NO: DIDACTICELECTROMETER0095
Van De Graaff Generator.
This type of generator consists of a belt of insulating material stretched between two pulleys and kept in rotation by a motor.
This belt is charged by induction by a row of metallic points (point effect) available near one of the pulleys and connected with a DC voltage generator (e.g. : a battery).
Then these charges are transferred by the motor into an insulated conductor of spherical shape where a second comb connected electrically with the sphere transfers them onto the surface of the same sphere. If the machine is not switched off, this process will stop when the voltage of the sphere is sufficient to generate electric discharges across the supporting insulators (dielectric breakdown) or across the surrounding air (air ionization).
This generator has been designed for tests in the sector of electrostatics and where high-voltage direct sources are necessary.
It is mounted on a base with AC motor running at 220 V and 50 Hz.
