NO....a metallic dome must be used ,so that cahrges get accumulated on it...a wooden block(insulator) cannot do that..
Melanie de Graaf was born in 1922, in Germany.
Elly de Graaf was born on August 6, 1954.
Melanie de Graaf died on January 15, 1993.
Hermine Selleslagh was born on May 16, 1970, in Vilvoorde, Flanders, Belgium.
A Van de Graaff generator is considered safe because it generates high voltage at low current, which minimizes the risk of electric shock. The high voltage can create a noticeable static electric charge but is not sufficient to cause serious injury under normal operating conditions. Additionally, it is designed with safety features to prevent accidental contact with its charged components. Proper handling and safety precautions further enhance its safety during use.
Using a wooden sphere for the dome of a Van de Graaff generator is not advisable as wood is not a conductive material, which is necessary for the generator to function properly. A metal sphere or other conductive material would be more suitable for the dome of a Van de Graaff generator.
Van der Graaf Generator was created in 1967.
Still Life - Van der Graaf Generator album - was created in 1975-06.
From Wikipedia... Van der Graaf Generator is a band.
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.

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.
Hannah Graaf's birth name is Hannah Rakel Zerafia Graaf.
The basic use of a Van de Graaf generator is to separate electric charges and build them up, frequently for demonstration purposes. A "big" version can be used to provide a burst of energy for generating X-rays, or for accelerating electrons or protons. The accelerated charges find some practical applications as well as some uses in scientific investigations. It's an electrostatic generator, and it will create a considerable difference of potential.

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.
