View Spectra with an Accuracy of ±1 Nanometer

Graphically illustrate the fact that like charges repel each other.
The multi-colored ribbons are connected to a suction cup that sits on top of a Van de Graaff generator. As the generator operates, the ribbons accumulate a charge and stand on end.

This generator can perform all electrostatic experiments on a spectacular scale.

Unique Shapes Challenge Students’ Assumptions

Demonstrate that a charge cannot exist inside a conductor and re-create Faraday’s classic 'Ice pail' experiment with this kit.
