[phas-dept] Van de Graaff generator

[Kurtis Williams]

I will be giving a talk to 200 sixth graders tomorrow, and I was hoping to use a Van de Graaff generator.  But the two currently in the stock room no longer have belts (at least one of them was functioning at the fall Mane Event).

Does anyone know if there is a functional Van de Graaff in the department, or at least the necessary pieces to try and get one of the two in the stock room working?  And if so, where those pieces are?  Is it possible to get it and the necessary accoutrements (discharge wand) by 9:20am Wednesday?

Thanks,
KAW
