Hi guys, As we all know, most people power their tesla coil with a neon line transformer. I am wondering if there can be any other substitution for that? -...
Wow, the list is quiet. Have you determined why it was breaking? I've seen VDG belts last a -long- time. Check the links here and in Mad_Scientist for...
Playing around with a small commercial VDG. I'm "Mr Science" tomorrow for the open house for the private school where my wife works, coming up with things to...
Steve: Yup the list sure is quiet. This summer I am building a large Leyden jar. I am waiting for my 10 year old electrical whiz kid grandson to visit me in...
I had fun at the Science Night. Had the Van De Graaff with various things, most interesting was a ball on a wire stand that was grounded, it'd swing back and...

Bob: OK on the electrophorus effect. I have only constructed 3 VDGs and therefore my hands on experience is limited to VDGs. I was always under the impression...
