The Van de Graaff charges the upper sphere with negative electricity and is usually used for experiments where you touch it to build up a charge in your body, making your hair stand up. However, the special request to &#8220;hand over an electrified diploma&#8221; required some serious ingenuity.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">First, I connected aluminum foil to my body to build up a charge while keeping my hands free. I tried to pass the diploma in this state, hoping for a shock, but the paper certificate didn&#8217;t work well. We tried an improvement by sticking aluminum foil to the back of the diploma. However, the discharge still wasn&#8217;t strong enough, so further adjustments were necessary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34634 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/51660daaa7a3299d36708813cf79f6aa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/51660daaa7a3299d36708813cf79f6aa.jpg 850w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/51660daaa7a3299d36708813cf79f6aa-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/51660daaa7a3299d36708813cf79f6aa-768x493.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I stood on a homemade insulating platform, connecting my backside to the Van de Graaff with an aluminum strip.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34633 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/c90dd1771a07de576aa1f646882ca7e3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"328\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/c90dd1771a07de576aa1f646882ca7e3.jpg 734w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/c90dd1771a07de576aa1f646882ca7e3-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Electricity builds up in my body.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34635 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bb0dcf98c52b4db1eb30b44d4317933e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bb0dcf98c52b4db1eb30b44d4317933e.jpg 770w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bb0dcf98c52b4db1eb30b44d4317933e-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bb0dcf98c52b4db1eb30b44d4317933e-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">My hands are free, allowing me to present the diploma.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">That&#8217;s when I focused on the principle of the Leyden Jar.

We initially discussed over 20 experiments, but D made the final selection, partly due to some being vetoed by the talent&#8217;s management.<\/p>\n<p>All experiments were thoroughly pre-tested for safety. However, &#8220;Static Electricity Water&#8221; and the &#8220;100-Person Shock&#8221; must be performed with great care, as they could affect people with pacemakers or injuries. Also, be careful not to make the Leyden Jar&#8217;s capacitance excessively large.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve summarized the methods for each experiment in the links below. If you&#8217;re curious, give them a try!<\/p>\n<p>\u203b Note that all experiments were pre-tested multiple times for safety. Do not allow students with pacemakers, external injuries, or those who simply do not wish to participate, to take part in the Static Electricity Water or 100-Person Shock experiments. Making the Leyden Jar&#8217;s capacitance too large can be dangerous. If children perform these experiments, please conduct pre-tests and <span style=\"background-color: #ccffcc;\">ensure an adult is always supervising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\uff11\u3000<a href=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/?p=34678\">Getting Your Hand Close to the Van de Graaff Generator<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/?p=34678\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35413 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/72f733c1c9a3c63b97153bf7a70e27f2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"369\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/72f733c1c9a3c63b97153bf7a70e27f2.jpg 1302w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/72f733c1c9a3c63b97153bf7a70e27f2-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/72f733c1c9a3c63b97153bf7a70e27f2-1024x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/phys-edu.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/72f733c1c9a3c63b97153bf7a70e27f2-768x503.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was an experiment to see what happens when you bring your hand close to the Van de Graaff generator (up to 150,000 volts!), which Ms. Hirose was very curious about.
