One of the first Van de Graaf generators,built by Robert Van De Graaf at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the 1930s. A high-voltage electrostatic generator,the machine was one of the first subatomic particle accelerators. It can produce such high electrical potentials that it gives rise to spectacular bolts of "man-made lightning",as in this photograph | |
