Hello peoples.
Im attempting to build a van der graaf generator and a small tesla coil. Hopefully I have come to the right place for help.
Firstly I'll start with van der graaf generator. I am going to use pvc lower roller (negative charge) and nylon upper roller (positive). any suggestions on better materials for rollers for better results.? also i was wondering if a woven polyester strap as used for tie down straps on trucks etc will work as a belt?
I am trying my hardest not to buy anything for generator build and would love to make it from found / scavanged items , re the strap question.
Thanks
