You can build one for the cost of a motor, PVC pipe, rollers, belt, some wire and a couple stainless steel salad bowls...That could be around $30. See the link for one person's DIY Van de Graaf.

You can buy one from Edmund Scientific for $500

Who invented capacitor?

The capacitor was invented, or discovered; in October 1745 by Ewald Georg von Kleist. In 1746 Pieter van Musschenbroek created the first Leyden Jar (an early type of capacitor). Argument continues today as to 'who' did it first, etc.


Can you run an amplifier with a power inverter?

Most likely yes depending on your inverter and how long you run it. I have done it once before. I ran a sub woofer and a PA horn in my dad's work van for fun. Ran it for about a half hour. It was a 1000 watt inverter on a 700cca battery. The amplifier was bridged to 150 watts RMS. If you run more power you might need a bigger inverter. Out inverter also has circuitry that filters out noise.


What is the vector diagram of ynd11 transformer?

In the vector group representation for this transformer, the letter 'y' represents a wye- or star-connection, and the letter 'd' represents a delta- or mesh-connection (I have no idea what 'n' stands for -anyone?). An upper-case letter indicates the higher voltage, while a lower-case letter represents the lower voltage. The sequence of the letters indicates the primary and the secondary windings. So the transformer in question is a wye-delta connection (presumably the 'y' should have been capitalised, meaning that this is a step-down transformer: i.e. Yd11).The number appearing after the letter group (in this case '11') is a multiplier of 30o and indicates the transformer connection's angular displacement (or phase displacement). In this case, the angular displacement is 11 x 30o = 330o.As angular displacement is defined as 'the angle by which the secondary line voltages lag the primary line voltages', this means the secondary line voltages of this particular transformer lags its corresponding primary line voltages by 330o.So, to draw the phasor (not 'vector') diagram for this particular transformer, you would start by drawing the phase voltages (VAN, VBN, and VCN) of the primary wye connection (using VAN as the phasor of reference), from which you would then construct the corresponding line voltages (VAB, VBC, and VCA). To finish the diagram, you will then draw the secondary delta phasor diagram, starting with Vab lagging VAB by 330o (or, if you prefer, leading by 30o), then drawing Vbc and Vca displaced by 120o.


Who invented the first electric circuit?

Who was first is unknown, but both Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek are credited with inventing the Leyden Jar in 1745. This electrical storage device was the first opportunity to use electricity to create a useful electric circuit. There is no acceptable and convincing record of what the first circuits were and who created them. But, credit for the first true electric circuit is due to these two men.

Can a Van de Graaf generator kill you?

Yes. Some of the larger units can create potential differences of several hundred thousand volts with ease, and the really big ones push several million volts. And they can do this with a good ability to deliver a big shot of current at that potential. A jolt from a Van de Graaf generator working in those ranges would be fatal.

Why does the Van der Graaf generator work better on dry days?

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.

NO....a metallic dome must be used ,so that cahrges get accumulated on it...a wooden block(insulator) cannot do that..
