Step-by-step description of making a Van de Graaff generator built using parts from around the house such as a Coke can and rubber bands. I also show how to test it using an electroscope.\r<br>\r<br>For Part 2 of How to Make a Van de Graaff Generator, including more getting 20% better performance, rollers, grounding, and using batteries see:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>For more details, include a detailed parts list and details on selecting parts, see:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Some more construction ideas are in my Van de Graaff Faraday Cage Science Experiment video here:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>For How a Van de Graaf Generator Works, see my very detailed video about it:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>For Van de Graaff Demonstrations and Explanations, see:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>For more about triboelectricity, see my Triboelectric effect/ or triboelectricity video:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>And I seem to keep using the version of this Van de Graaff generator I make in Part 2 in more and more videos as time goes by:\r<br>\r<br>Van de Graaff Demonstrations and Explanations\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Franklins Bells - How to Make and Demonstrations\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Ion Wind Rotor\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>How to Make a Corona Motor or Electrostatic motor/Atmospheric motor\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Follow me on Twitter:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>- -
