    Therefore, leakage from the terminal determines the maximum voltage attainable. In the Van de Graaff generator, the belt allows the transport of charge into the interior of a large hollow spherical electrode. This is the ideal shape to minimize leakage and corona discharge, so the Van de Graaff generator can produce the greatest voltage.

  3. Electrostatic generator - Wikipedia

    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.

  4. Electrostatic particle accelerator - Wikipedia

    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.

    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/Westinghouse_Atom_Smasher

    The Westinghouse Atom Smasher was intended to make measurements of nuclear reactions for research in nuclear power. [8] 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.

  7. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    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.

    Also, the idea of bringing small amounts of charge into the center of a large metal object with a large net charge, as happens in Kelvin's water dropper, relies on the same physics as in the operation of a van de Graaff generator. The discussion above is in terms of charged droplets falling.
