This is instructions on how I built a Van de Graaff generator from junk lying about my house.(And I do mean junk.)
Step 1Parts
Okay,
the first thing you will want to do is gather all of the necessary
parts. They include 1 pencil with ereaser, two dried out old click pen
parts, a piece of 8in. long PVC pipe, 1 dead light bulb, 1ft long piece
of 2 by 4, a elastic band, one metal paper clip, aluminum foil, see
through tape, one small toy motor, 9 volt battery, and some junk wire. A
good sense of humor and a few band-aids would come in handy too.
