  2. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Other electrostatic machines such as the Wimshurst machine or Bonetti machine work similarly to the Van De Graaff generator; charge is transported by moving plates, disks, or cylinders to a high voltage electrode. For these generators, however, corona discharge from exposed metal parts at high potentials and poorer insulation result in smaller ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_particle...

    The two most common types are the Van de Graaf generator invented by Robert Van de Graaff in 1929, and the Cockcroft-Walton accelerator invented by John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton in 1932. The maximum particle energy produced by electrostatic accelerators is limited by the maximum voltage which can be achieved the machine.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator

    A Van de Graaff generator, for classroom demonstrations 12" Quadruple Sector-less Wimshurst Machine (Bonetti Machine). An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current.

    It was the first industrial Van de Graaff generator in the world, [9] and marked the beginning of nuclear research for civilian applications. [10] [11] Built in 1937, it was a 65-foot-tall (20 m) pear-shaped tower. [9] [12] It was essentially unused after World War II, and the main structure was laid on its side in 2015. [12]

    The Van de Graaff generator is a simple mechanical device. Small Van de Graaff generators are built by hobbyists and scientific apparatus companies and are used to demonstrate the effects of high DC potentials. Even small hobby machines produce impressive sparks several centimeters long. The largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator

    The two main types of electrostatic accelerator are the Cockcroft–Walton accelerator, which uses a diode-capacitor voltage multiplier to produce high voltage, and the Van de Graaff accelerator, which uses a moving fabric belt to carry charge to the high voltage electrode. Although electrostatic accelerators accelerate particles along a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    This is how charge is transferred to the top terminal of a Van de Graaff generator. [4] [7] The terminal is a hollow metal shell and functions as a Faraday pail. Charge is transported inside it on a moving belt, then removed from the belt by a wire attached to the inside of the terminal.
