 ===== Setup ===== ===== Setup =====
  
-Place windmill on top of the Van de Graaff generator. ​The windmill rortates when the generator is turned on. +Place windmill on top of the Van de Graaff generator. ​When the generator is turned on the windmill will begin to rotate.
  
 +===== Notes =====
  
 +The Van de Graaff generator vibrates significantly while running, so a piece of tape may be necessary to prevent the windmill from falling off of the generator.
  
-===== Notes ===== +The electrostatic windmill needs a high voltage to start turning, so move the grounding '​wand'​ far away from the head of the generator.
