An electrostatic generator is a device that produces high voltages of static electricity through various mechanical means. These generators work by separating electric charges and accumulating them on conductive surfaces, thus generating a high potential difference. There are several types of electrostatic generators, with the most common being the Leyden jar, the Van de Graaff generator, and the Wimshurst machine.
