    shocked by Van de Graaf (Be careful not to shock yourself!- tape the wand
    to an extension rod, like a meter stick, if you’re worried about getting shocked). This can be done with the any of the spectral tubes.
  • Located in L01, section A-2, bottom shelf, in tub with other
    Van de Graaf accessories.
