How does the Van De Graaff generator works?
A large rubber band spins, rubbing on a metallic dome. some electrons are transfered from the band to the dome, acting as static electricity. When, say Steve, touches the dome the charged particles will leap to him. Steve will experience a static shock.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of dome blowing?
Well it depends on what your depiction of "dome blowing" is.

Why doesnt the student receive a shock when she stands on a piece of insulating material places her hand on top of a Van de Graaff generator and then turns the generator on?
She is not shocked. She becomes part of the dome of the Van de Graaff, and charges flow onto her body. They do not jump to her body through a spark, so she is not shocked.
Why is the dome of a Van de Graaff machine spherical with no sharp edges?
A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which builds up an enormous positive charge on the outer surface of its principal dome. The negative of the circuit is provided by a smaller secondary dome or sphere. Since, it involves electrostatic charge the domes are kept spherical and smooth, as any unevenness or sharp edges would cause a drastic difference in the charge per unit area between the point of unevenness and the rest of the surface. At such high potentials this difference in charge per unit area can be harmful to the material of sphere, the circuit and the surroundings (as it may cause an enormous charge leakage leading to ionization of the surrounding air).
What is the generator that uses friction to produce a large static charge on a metal dome?
THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS A VANDAGRAPH GENERATOR
Is it possible for the dome of a Van De Graaf Generator to be made of wooden sphere?
NO....a metallic dome must be used ,so that cahrges get accumulated on it...a wooden block(insulator) cannot do that..
Which compact and quiet power generator is the best and where can it be purchased?
The best compact and quiet power generator that can be purchased is Power Dome EX power generator. The main factors that it is compact is because it is small and therefore can be placed anywhere, as well as quiet.
