1. In simple language, an electrostatic generator is basically a giant capacitor (although lacking plates).

2. 1785 – Martinus van Marum's electrostatic generator was used to reduce tin, zinc, and antimony from their salts using electrolysis.

3. In 1705, it was noted that electrostatic generator sparks travel a longer distance through low pressure air than through atmospheric pressure air.

4. Electrostatic generator generates negative ions, through the discharge making objects with electric charge(artificial charge), and the higher the voltage, the greater the effective range.

5. 17 Static electricity was the first form discovered and investigated,[www.Sentencedict.com] and the electrostatic generator is still used even in modern devices such as the Van de Graaff generator or MHD generators.
