Van-de-Graaff-Generator

We let your hair stand on end with our highly fascinating hands-on exhibit. Ideally suited for events with walk-in customers.

The Van-de-Graaff-generator generates high voltage up to 500,000 volts! With it we perform countless spectacular effects – and a smile on the faces of your guests. Not only does the hair go up: With flying confetti hats, propellers and other gadgets, all those who don’t have long hair will get their money's worth.

How does it work?
When you hold your hand to the ball of the Van-de-Graaff, electric charge is being transferred to your body - even to every single hair. Same charges repel each other, which is why the hairs try to move as far apart as possible. You don't get an electric shock because you are standing on an isolated stool. Before you get off it , we unload the Van-de-Graaff again - and your hairstyle sits as before.

The Van de Graaff is stage-tested and is supervised by us expertly.

Who are we, the Physikanten?

We, the Physikanten, are a team of scientists, actors and presenters. We have already enthralled more than 750,000 spectators with our spectacular physics and science shows. We have performed at company events, conferences and schools in Germany, Europe, in the middle and the far east. Physicist Marcus Weber and his team have created scientific programmes for TV (e.g. Galileo, Frag doch mal die Maus). The impact of our activities is regularly acknowledged; most recently in 2012 we were awarded a medal for scientific journalism, presented by the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
