  • aso one last thing, is it more dangerouse to get shocked doin what you did' by charging up the layden jar u made?? does that make it have more energy or amps? cuz i know the van de graaf by it self doesnt produce . somethin of a amp, lol

  • @hadabeesago

    Yeah the VDG only has .27 micro amps, or .027 amp, it wont hurt you, the jar stores it up over a larger surface area and gives you enough current to kill, One hit from it and your dead, this is not a toy.

  • no it kills, so I keep it away from me and anything other than a grounded target...

  • that sounds like my fly zapper

  • LOL, i have my finger over the microphone, it made my phone sound like crap if I didnt, just at the end I take it off and you can hear the VDG running....

see all

  • just a 0.5 L water plastic bottle has Al foil in and out side is enough to hurt me.

    I hope that you will not unexpectedly touch it.

  • @mrconradhoppe So we could have free energy! Just figure it out, that's all.

  • how much capacity does it have?

  • @nickademuss42 0.027 amps is 27 milliamps (mA for short) not microamps

  • Ben franklin killed pigs with them jars he made! and here we are two hundred years later, and no one has figured out how to charge a battery with a VDG.

  • UP TO 0:30

  • i noticed that you can loosely predict the time gap between the sparks :

    1st spark : 0 sec- 11 sec.

    2nd spark : 11 sec. - 33 sec. --------> i predicted the 2nd spark to be at 20 sec, but i was wrong ! it was at 33, 13 seconds after the predicted first . so figured out that it can be a pattern: What if i double the initial( it becomes 26). So the 3rd spark must be 59.

    3rd spark: this happens at 53. Seems my calculation is wrong, but the result was close to 59.
