    I made a capacitor out of aluminum foil and a 5 gallon bucket and lid.It blew a hole in the bucket, pencil eraser sized, and loud too. I have no idea of how much power that is but I would be surprised if a jolt like that wouldn't kill a person outright. I got shocked by a piece of plastic no larger than 12" x 18" 1/8" thick that was not even close to being fully charged and it took me maybe 20 -30 seconds to even remember my name and what I was doing. High voltage when used to charge things up like leyden jars and homemade capacitors is no joke and takes only one mistake to flat out kill you or your friends or family member. And time does not always dissipate the charge either, I have discharged a sheet of plastic over a month after I had charged it and it still had a scarey amount of juice in it. If you insist on playing like that do yourself a favor and always keep one of your hands in your pocket so if something does happen you are far less likely to have your heart in the path the electricity is likely to follow.In one arm and out the other puts your heart in the path. That is no guarantee you will survive, I wish I had read that somewhere early on, Not everyone will be as careful or lucky as I was early on. Best not to even go there on a whim.

    My 6th grade science teacher had one, I think it was a little different cause it had like a plastic or glass casing around the metal ball, and the purple line things appeared constantly in the casing, so what we did was we each got to so up and put both hands on it so that our hair stood up.. It was SO much fun! :D

    Static Electricity - Van de Graaff Generator
    A Van de Graaff generator is a device that produces high voltage static electricity by accumulating charges on the surface of a large, insulating sphere. It was invented by American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff in 1931. The generator works on the principle of electrostatic induction, which is the transfer of electric charge between two conductors in a closed system.
    The Van de Graaff generator consists of three main components: a high-voltage terminal (the sphere), a belt or corona wire system, and a grounded metal base. Here's a brief overview of how it works:
    1. A large insulating belt, typically made of rubber or Teflon, is continuously stretched from the high-voltage terminal (sphere) to a charged electrostatic generator, which is usually located at the grounded metal base.
    2. The generator at the base produces a high voltage, typically in the range of 100 kV to 20 MV. This high voltage ionizes the air around the electrodes in the generator, creating a stream of positively charged ions.
    3. These positively charged ions are attracted to the negatively charged belt, which is moving continuously from the generator at the base to the sphere. As the ions move along the belt, they transfer their positive charge to the belt's surface.
    4. When the charged belt reaches the high-voltage terminal (sphere), the accumulated positive charge causes the sphere to become highly positively charged. This charge induces a strong electrostatic force, which can be observed when objects are brought near the sphere.
    5. The high voltage on the sphere can be used to power experiments, such as making hair on an object close to the sphere stand up on end or creating sparks when touching the sphere with an insulating object.
    Van de Graaff generators are widely used in educational settings, scientific research, and various applications that require high voltage and high charge levels, such as particle accelerators. They provide a visually engaging and interactive way to demonstrate and understand the principles of electrostatics and static electricity.

    CAN WE CREATE A ELECTRIC FENCE WITHOUT A CONDUCTOR (wires) ?
    from this video , we can see that current passes through the air (non conductor)
    Is it possible to create a electric fence above the ground by only two metals separated through a air gap ? like in VAN DE GRAAFF GENERATOR.
    I think by developing this houses in forest regions can be protected from wild animals.

    I remember 5th grade. We did this in school as a punishment. He'd turn the motor on and he'd have ya touch it after it had been running for a minute. He, of course, had you touch it with a metal ball on a stick. The sound would be SO loud, that 99% of the people doing it would smack the Van de Graff generator, and zap themelves with 50'000 volts. The only reason you didn't get fried was because you stood on aluminum foil, and there was a wire leading to a light bulb.
