It's probably that the hallow sphere is protecting the electrode
Robert van de graaff was the inventor of the van de graaff generator and was also a scientistAnsweran artist from the 70' he made really good progressive rock music, highly recommended
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge
No, the Van de Graaff generator can produce a large amount of charge but does not hold the charge itself. The generator must be in motion in order to produce electricity. Once the motion stops, the charge is lost.
Jan van de Graaff was born in 1944.
The dome of a Van de Graaff generator has a spherical surface to ensure uniform distribution of electric charge. A spherical shape allows the electric field to be evenly spread across the surface, minimizing potential differences and reducing the risk of electric discharge. Additionally, the geometry helps to contain and elevate the high voltage produced, making the generator more efficient and effective in accumulating charge.

A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!
Invented in 1929 by American physicist Rob. J. Van De Graaff
it was built in colorado.
He invented the electric generator.

I assume you mean the "van de Graaff generator". Better for what, exactly? From what I read, they serve different purposes. Specifically as a particle accelerator, the van de Graaff generator has been superseded by other designs.

A Van de Graaff generator generates an electrostatic charge (like static electricity).
