High voltage and electrostatic gizmo builder


 

[submitted for Doug by VDG moderator]

Doug Johnson here, a long time member of VDG group with many pictures on that site.?

I have spent many hours experimenting with different materials involved with building the VDG's.? Best I have found to date are Nylon bottom roller and Teflon top roller, which gives a negative collector.? ?Belt material is natural gum rubber, BY FAR.

Collectors are not the conventional like most use but conductive poly bag material used in anti-static bags, just barely in contact with the belt.

Only six machines I have built are left, as Grand Valley U. science dept. has been pilfering some of my toys, i.e. a VDG machine, a Tesla coil, a Wimshurst machine, a VDG (belt-only system), and some other toys.

I have many videos on my youtube page [non-monetized].?

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Doug J.
