How to build a Van Der Graaf Generator - Part 5a - Rollers and motor

Jan 8, 2012
This section is about dismantling and old sander for the roller mechanism and the motor which will be used to drive the generator. I used an old sander i had laying around that was too worn out for a sander but had a perfectly good motor and roller mechanism attached. These machines can be bought really quite cheaply and offer a whole load of parts that would be far more expensive if you decided to buy them separately or build them from scratch
