Van De Graaff Generator Kit

Item Code:




  • Hamilton’s mill: Demonstration of electric wind.
  • Neon indicator: Luminous discharge from the gaseous excitation by the high electric fields near the generator.
  • Ions in motion: Random motion of metallic ball demonstrating kinetic theory model of gas.
  • Faraday’s pail: To demonstrate that electric charge resides on the outer surface of a charged hollow conductor.
  • Bouncing ball: Continuous charging and discharging of metallized ball and hence continuous attraction or repulsion of the ball towards or away from the charged dome.
  • Electric wind: Release of ions at the end of a pointed conductor which is enough to deflect a candle’s flame or charged metallised sphere.
  • Hair raising experiment : Repulsion between similar charges.
  • Electric chimes : Oscillation of a pair of swinging ball due to their repetitive charging and discharge.
  • Corona Discharge : Leakage of charge from a pointed conductor.
  • Generation of high voltages : Production of spark.

  • An interesting fun way to teach Electrostatics.
  • Control to vary motor speed.
