A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high electrostatically stable voltages on a hollow metal globe on the top of the stand.

What is the machine when your hair stand on end's?
a van de graff generator
Why does a van der Graff generator repel a stack of tin foil plates?
Since tin foil is a conductor, it acquires the same charge as the van der Graff generator. Likes repel, thus the plates are repelled.
What will happen to puffed rice when it is thrown onto the Van de Graff generator?
the puffed rice will stand up on the van de graff genarator because the charges dont have any place to flow
Why does your hair stand up when touching a charged Van de Graaff generator?
The large-radius sphere of a Van de Graff generator holds considerable charge before arc discharge occurs. The Van de Graff generator gathers negative charges and it is released into your body when you touch the sphere. We all know that negatives repel each other so since your hair is charged with negative electrons, they break away from each other (not lie flat on your head) in an effort to repel.
Why is a spark more likely to jump to your finger than your forehead when you approach a charged van de graff generator?
Because love is all u need baby, I love you
What is a Van de Graff generator?
The Van de Graff generator was named after Van de Graff, who invented it. A Van de Graff generator is a device used to store an enormous amount of electric charge (either positive or negative) on a metallic sphere so that a very strong electric field can be produced. This strong electric field can be used to accelerate charged particles like protons, alpha particles etc. In the Van de Graff generator, charges from an electric battery are separated and stored on a metallic sphere which is mounted on an insulating pillar.

What is mechanisms of van de graaff generator?
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge

What is the best motor to use for a Van De Graff generator?
Most people use old vacuum cleaner motors.
Are Van Der Graff generators suitable for home use?
Van Der Graff generators are suitable for home use. For someone who is mechanically savvy there are several guides available online that can help you construct your own Van Der Graff generator for home experiments and fun. Van Der Graff generators are more designed for commercial use,they are very pwoerful. I would not recomend using a Van Der Graff generators in a home.
