  • hey, do you sell these generators, grtzzz

  • @branders2589 Hi! I'm sorry but I'm a private and I built it only for hobby!

  • I used plate shears

  • I'm trying to make a van de graaff generator like this but when I tested it I only got 1/2 cm sparks do you know why? The video about the van de graaff is on my channel.

  • @AHW214 Try to control the room moisture, often moisture is the main problem, and try to dry the entire machine (external and internal part) with an hairdryer, works very well for me!. After, control that near the dome aren't some kind of spikes, like aluminium foil spikes or uncovered wire spikes.

    P.S.: I'm sorry for my english, I'm italian =)

  • probably wrecked that cd you had down there

  • ehehe yes probably :)

  • can i ask you how you cut your hole in the dome?

  • Very nice generator you have there.

  • could you do me a favor? Get a spray bottle of water.. and spray a stream of Mist right down between the 2 spheres while its sparking, maybe the water will explode..
