In a Van de Graaff generator, electrons are accelerated by being repelled by the negatively charged dome and attracted by the positively charged belt. This creates an electric field that accelerates the electrons as they move towards the dome. The higher the voltage applied to the generator, the greater the acceleration of the electrons.
Yes, negative ions can be accelerated using a Van de Graaff generator. The generator can produce a high voltage difference that accelerates the ions, regardless of their charge. The ions will be repelled or attracted according to their charge, gaining kinetic energy in the process.
When operating a Van de Graaff generator, it is important to follow safety precautions such as wearing rubber-soled shoes, avoiding contact with the generator while it is in operation, and ensuring that the generator is properly grounded to prevent electric shocks. Additionally, it is important to keep the generator away from water and flammable materials to prevent accidents.
When puffed rice is thrown onto a Van de Graaff generator, the grains will be attracted to the generator due to static electricity buildup. The grains may stick to the surface of the generator momentarily before being repelled as the charge redistributes.
A type charge generator developed around 1993
A Van de Graaff generator works by using a moving belt to transfer electric charge to a metal dome. This creates a high voltage difference between the dome and the base, generating static electricity.

From Wikipedia... Van der Graaf Generator is a band.
Van der Graaf Generator was created in 1967.
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge
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.

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 Specifically as a particle accelerator, the van de Graaff generator has been superseded by other designs.
it was built in colorado.
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.
