A large rubber band spins, rubbing on a metallic dome. some electrons are transfered from the band to the dome, acting as static electricity. When, say Steve, touches the dome the charged particles will leap to him. Steve will experience a static shock.
Well it depends on what your depiction of "dome blowing" is.
It helps to increase the height and diameter of the outer dome
I am looking for the formula to figure strength to weight ratio for a dome that I built for a project
It is something were your body has to heal and you sit in it for like an hour or two.
In a Van de Graaff generator, electrons are accelerated by being repelled by the negatively charged dome and attracted by the positively charged belt. This creates an electric field that accelerates the electrons as they move towards the dome. The higher the voltage applied to the generator, the greater the acceleration of the electrons.
The magnitude of the electric field inside a dome of a Van de Graaff generator is inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the dome. The field strength is typically strongest near the dome's surface and decreases as you move towards the center.
To make the dome of a Van de Graaff generator negatively charged, you can change the belt material to something that is electronegative, such as rubber or neoprene. These materials tend to accumulate negative charge as they move over the pulleys, transferring the charge to the dome. Additionally, adjusting the grounding of the generator can also impact the polarity of the charge on the dome.

The insulating material prevents the flow of electricity by not allowing electrons to move freely between the student's body and the ground through the Van de Graaff generator. This lack of conductivity interrupts the electrical circuit required for the shock to occur.
A Van de Graaff generator creates static electricity by transferring excess electrons to the metal dome on top. When you touch the dome, the excess electrons flow into your body, causing your hair strands to repel each other due to the same charge, making them stand up.
The spherical shape of the dome helps distribute the electric charge evenly across its surface, reducing the chances of corona discharge and allowing for a higher charge capacity. The absence of sharp edges minimizes the likelihood of the charge dissipating through the air.
THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS A VANDAGRAPH GENERATOR
The Van de Graaff generator eventually replaced the electrostatic generators as a compact device for producing high voltage. It uses a motorized belt to accumulate electrostatic charge on a hollow metal dome, providing a more reliable and efficient method for generating high voltages.
NO....a metallic dome must be used ,so that cahrges get accumulated on it...a wooden block(insulator) cannot do that..
The best compact and quiet power generator that can be purchased is Power Dome EX power generator. The main factors that it is compact is because it is small and therefore can be placed anywhere, as well as quiet.
