Details

This large Van de Graff generator uniquely offers alternative drive modes, either hand-cranked or motor driven. Excellently constructed, the generator reliably delivers charge and sparks 10cm long and more immediately on setting it in motion, even under high humidity conditions. In hand-cranked mode, the amount of charge generated can be seen to increase at higher cranking speeds, while the much faster motor-driven mode delivers a fast succession of sparks.
The generator is 76cm high and features a 28cm diameter polished steel sphere, which is less vulnerable to dents and scratches than comparably sized aluminum spheres. A further unique feature of this generator is a built-in lamp close to the bottom of the belt that delivers a small amount of UV light when turned on. This can be seen to increase the demand for motor power. A set of accessories is included, containing a discharge wand with a grounding cord, an electric plume, an electric whirl, a discharge bulb, a cord for connecting other electrostatic demonstration items, a spare charge belt, and a spare motor drive belt. The generator measures 38cm x 23cm x 76cm.or measures 38cm x 23cm x 76cm.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
