@beforebefore ok, first, the top roller must be metal, foil tape works best, bottom roller must be felt, and groun it to the motor, check out mine for details

Shouldn't the 'ground' actually be "earthed"?
Also, Teflon tape over Nylon seems to be self-defeating. Teflon has a -190 Triboelectric charge, Nylon has +30 charge... the Rubber belt (if it's Natural Rubber) is around -105... too negative. Try Teflon over PVC.
If it's Gum Rubber (-60 charge), then you're about halfway between the Teflon and Nylon charges, which should be good.
I think your top brush was too far from the belt... hard to collect a charge at that distance.
Good build though!

@beforebefore real earth ground did not make a differance. You have your chrges correct :-) I needed nylon or metal on top and teflon on the bottom roller. we can ignore what material i have covered over, the "inside" material does not take effect. Yes, opposite sides of the triboelectric series, and the belt is natural/gum rubber,,,in the middle of the chart. I was thinking aboput making 1 roller covered in rabit fur and the other roller make from glass jar. I bet this would raise some hare!

Awesome VDG, I have been looking into static electricity collection as well. I am very eager to see what kind of solid state circuit you come up with. Nice to see your back at it. Peace rawbush

@Rawbush Glad to see your still following my vids:-)
I will use either an air ionizer or NST with variac.
Next video on this will be interesting.
Thanks
