    7. Static electricity applications

    Historically, the first application of static electricity was in generators. Although limited to very specific applications, electrostatic generators are still in use in 1993. All other applications exploit electrostatic forces to move solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas or other liquid.

    7.1 Electrostatic generators

    Generally speaking, these generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They are high-voltage sources generally limited to low current values (a few milliamperes).

    • The best known generator is the Van de Graaf generator [55] . Charges are created in the lower part of the machine (figure
