Hand Crank Van de Graaff Generator, 9.8" Sphere, 100kV

This Hand Crank Van de Graaff Generator features a 9.8-inch (20cm) polished hand-spun metal sphere mounted on an assembled base. The apparatus measures 24 inches in height and can generate electrostatic charges up to 100,000 volts under appropriate conditions. The set includes the Van de Graaff dome, a 4-inch discharge wand/sphere, 4mm grounding wire, and an experiment guide with activity questions. The hand-crank operation demonstrates energy transformation from mechanical to electrical, ideal for physics demonstrations of electrostatics, conservation of charge, conduction, and ionization. Components are interchangeable and replaceable, with different configuration kits available. Compatible with the Eisco Labs 7-Piece Electrostatics Kit (PH0918C).
