About This Item
Description
Electrifying fun is at your fingertips! The Van de Graaff Generator by Science First is an electrostatic machine.

Experiment and play with generator to raise hair, produce lightning bolts and electric wind, spark lightbulbs, and so much more. Base measures 11-1/4 x 11-3/4 x 4-3/4 inches. Transparent butyrate vertical column resists static/shock at 3 inch diameter and stands 38-1/2 inches high with collector dome attached. Stainless steel collector dome measures 17 inches diameter and is 7/10 inches thick. Instructions for all uses included. Complement this kit with a Science First Discharge Wand (sold separately) for a hands-free approach to spark manipulation; unit includes on/off switch with grounding jack for discharge wand (not included).Features
