120,000 Volt Van De Graaff Generator

at 1:16 pm. Filed under Crazy Hacks, DIY Hacks, Electronic Hacks

This Van De Graaff project allows you to play with high voltage on the cheap.

“The base is an old laundry bucket , inverted. Lay the power roller and motor on top of the bucket and mark the location of the mounting holes and roller location. Using those markings locate the closet flange and mark it’s mounting holes and the area inside to be cut out. Cut out the hole to match the closet flange and drill out all the locations for assembly bolts.

The column is easy, simply mark down one end a distance equal to the height of one mixing bowl, now mark four points equidistant around the pipe at that location. Drill a 2″ hole through the pipe through two opposite points and a pair of 1/8″ holes through the other two points.”
