An Inside Look at Paul’s Vandy Graph Generator

In a recent demonstration, Paul provided a detailed overview of his homemade Vandy graph generator, offering insight into its construction, components, and current limitations. His project, a fascinating blend of craftsmanship and electrical experimentation, showcases his dedication to exploring high-voltage phenomena.

The Main Apparatus

Paul’s Vandy graph generator features a polished stainless steel sphere, approximately 19 inches in diameter. The sphere, with its smooth and reflective surface, serves as the top terminal for the generator. A distinctive sound, generated by his Jacob's Ladder (a classic high-voltage demonstration tool), punctuates the background, underscoring the high-voltage environment of his setup.
