Hand Crank Van De Graaff Generator, 7.9" Sphere

The van de Graaff generator is a simple device designed to create large voltages with low current. It can be used to dynamically demonstrate several physical concepts, including electrostatics, conservation of charge, conduction, and ionization. Static electricity is a familiar concept we encounter daily. It explains why static cling affects our clothes, the shock we sometimes experience when touching a doorknob on a dry winter day, and why we can cause a friend's hair to stand on end by “charging up” a balloon.


This hand crank-operated Van De Graaff Generator measures 22" tall produces up to 100,000 Volts and is ideal for demonstrating the transformation of energy from mechanical to electrical. The set includes a polished and hand-spun 7.9" Van de Graaff Dome, a 4" Discharge Sphere, an assembled base, a 4mm grounding wire, and an experiment guide with activity questions for learners.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
