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
The guy just wouldn't stop, was getting worse every sec! Hold this ball, now touch the glob, now turning on the moter, now lets cranck it up, now stand on it naked with your privets touching, now stand in this water! LOL!
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.
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.
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.

Did anybody else realize she was extremely scared of it. Maybe it was because he said it was over 10000 Volts.
It's not the voltage that kills you, it's the amps.
Eduardo Alfaro True, but it will still hurt. He wouldn't try to kill her.... I hope XD
@@edjavas and how do you get enough amps to flow through your body? by raising the VOLTAGE
@@badgermcbadger1968 And a van de graaff's discharge can be a couple amps. But only microsecond pulses, so not lethal.
@@jaakkolehto1487yes, there's not enough energy in this system. Besides the current is going to concentrate on the skin because of the skin effect

thats called a plasma globe
My Brain: YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS RIGHT INFRONT OF U! DO IT!!!
Spangler: You know, it's scientifically proven that homework bores kids.
Me: Seems Legit.
It's 3:40 am, and I keep telling myself "this is the last video, gotta go to bed....ok one more."
are you sure you are moving the right crank?
bro is literally trying to sell the generator.
she was so afraid and confused :D really funny :D
Why, that's the funniest dace I've ever seen!
When it's 6:45 and your still watching these do you just go without sleep?
I like your show!
The guy just wouldn't stop, was getting worse every sec! Hold this ball, now touch the glob, now turning on the moter, now lets cranck it up, now stand on it naked with your privets touching, now stand in this water! LOL!
she has a perfect karen cut

It's possible with lazers but for it to work it would have lethal charge.
@puppyheartlove321 actually, she said shoot. You have to listen very carefully.
1:38 "which hand do you use the least?" lol as if she has more than two hands. he should've said "which one do you use less?"
I just study about it right now
Yes,aslong as you can carry a current.
it is literally 3:40 am for me right now, going through the same problem

7:12 PM same ...
Freak'n Magic ! . . . watch the "flirting sparks" fly. 😆
i used my hand instead of the ball. not sure about the amount of power though. it kinda hurts.
its great
"i know, i was lying", classic steve.
best pickup tool ever
de Graff and electricity. Reminds me of the Demon of Empire City
0:59 did i hear her cuss
@ibold1000 yes, yes she did
must have been a
*sunglasses*
SHOCKING EXPERIENCE!
so attractive
Oh Steve Stoop!!
my life right now
HOLD ON A SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!! WAS THAT MRS.ADEMS
oh steve don't stop please ohhhhhh
#solid
this is john hutchinson experiment. or is it nickola tesla
i would have love to see her hair fly up. Just like it was doing it to me when i was young.
Gotta love 9 news.
I played with that in my IPC class. Lol I really don't like static electricity
im doing it right now
I went up stage in the science center and touched it xD It was F.U.N
3:46 AM and I need to go to bed :D
I noticed that the hosts are always surprised.......hopefully that's an act
When did she say shoot..?
@SingledMusicMan23 holy cow
now its 120
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BARBIE???
now to "shock" my physics teacher....
The fact u might not even go to school now is crazy
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.

@ibold1000 Ummm She meant that but I actually think she said shoot :p
Her dace is so funny if you pause it at 2:38
someones a lil touchy
@ibold1000 She said shoot! (just in case you don't have enough replies)
@ibold1000 i think she said shivers
@ibold1000 no she said shoot
i got told every second is a mile ive been lied 2
she's so funny.
-Bruce
i bet they're doing it
i did this at school and touched a metal sink. lol
Gud one I like this.............
@ibold1000 i think she said shoot... but i could be wrong
LIGHTNING HELP!
STEVE LET ME GO TO SLEEP
lol cool
someone in my class last year in physics put their tongue on one of those while it was charged, it was bad
lightning help!
the guy is a little frisky :P
I love how this science guy like to try to scare an intimidate Becky Ditchfield with science.
if you skip to 2:35 and dont watch anything... you wonder
@ibold1000 Why did that get 50 thumbs up? Wasn't it plainly obvious that she said shoot?
I dunno why, but i felt a little shock in me... O_O
@ibold1000 she says shoot
this guy want to do some bondage i can tell!
@ibold1000 i think she said shoot.
lol as i read this i realized its 3:39 xD
If one could make a battery that can instantly charge, i think static electricity would take off.
@ibold1000 it sound more like shoot
she said shoot
She said stop touching me to steve
she said "oh, my shirt!" because she felt a tiny shock.
Did you know if you have heart problems u can't use one if these
oh..this is my last video....its truly a lie
"okay i need to do my research paper, so i'll stop watching Steve as this is done..Oooh, screaming gummy worms!!" *click*
I said to myself, "I'll watch it for another 20 minutes..' It's been 3 hours..
my friend Rama so confused
i know how you feel
i think everyone quits their job when he comes on because of being scared
0:58 did she say s**t on the news?
@ibold1000 No She Said Shoot '
What?
no way i just read this and it was exactly 3.40 am here and im doing the same thing as you 0.0
Any1 else here is on a random video streak ? :D
they did have sparks... XD
I LIED!
oh steve stop please,ohhhh hehe,oh steve stop please oh oh oh hihihi,she likes him!
she said the d word'
did that in shcool so funn
@goffymew56 No the belt brushes againest a metal brush
Lol
