It is based on the principle of static induction and action of points (corona discharge)

A Van der Graaf generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high amounts of electrical charge on a hollow metal globe to the top of the stand. It is also the name of a metal band.
Since tin foil is a conductor, it acquires the same charge as the van der Graff generator. Likes repel, thus the plates are repelled.
A Van de Graaff generator generates an electrostatic charge (like static electricity).
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.
The electrons like (are attracted) to water. That's why you put water on your hair when it is full of static (electrons). They jump onto the water. So on humid days the electrons are on the water molecules, on dry days the belt in the Van der Graaf can gather the electrons and deposit them.
