When was Van de Graaff generator invented and by whom *?

It was invented by American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff in 1929. The potential difference achieved by modern Van de Graaff generators can be as much as 5 megavolts. A tabletop version can produce on the order of 100 kV and can store enough energy to produce visible electric sparks.

When was the Van de Graaff invented?

He debuted his invention on November 28, 1933, which made headlines when it produced a staggering (for the time) 7 million volts. (The smaller Van de Graaff generators used for public demonstrations generate between 100,000 and 500,000 volts.) A patent for the Van de Graaff generator was awarded in February, 1935.

Normally charges don’t like to collect in one place. They like to find opposite charges as partners and run away from particles with the same charge.
