[phas-dept] Van de Graaff generator

Tue Feb 12 23:00:09 CST 2013

No idea... Sorry. 

Last time I was in the stock room (many moons ago) there was still a working one in the back corner... . Rick used it for a demo at the Mesquite campus. 

I remember it being pretty good sized & blue. I think Dr Newton also used it fairly regularly for his classes... Maybe he has some idea...
