Photographer's Note
A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic machine which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high voltages on a hollow metal globe. The potential differences achieved in modern Van de Graaff generators can reach 5 megavolts. Applications for these high voltage generators include driving X-ray tubes, accelerating electrons to sterilize food and process materials, and accelerating protons for nuclear physics experiments. The Van de Graaff generator can be thought of as a constant-current source connected in parallel with a capacitor and a very large electrical resistance.

This beautiful old machine is a monument to the technology, it's located inside the scientific area where I work.
No DRI process.

Honey on my mind and heart. I love such engines and other industrial hardware. Perfect photo, no doubt.
Regards my friend.

Hallo Vinicio!
You show us a really interesting and beautiful technical plant. Even if it's surely built adequate to it's purpose it has wonderful forms and looks a bite like borrowed from a science-fiction film. Thank you for showing!
Greetings from more than stormy and rainy Germany; it's nearly threatening.

Certo che sei unico passare dai delicati ciclamini ad un generatore di Van de Graaf θ un bel salto di stile!
Bella foto di questa imponente attrezzatura, sembra quasi di vedere anche i protoni in accelerazione, bello e pregevole monumento d'arte moderna, ciao Silvio

Bellissimo!! Sembra una scultura di quelle che si vedono alla Biennale - per una come me che non ci capisce niente!
L'immagine θ stupenda, nitidissima, e un po' mi disturba il cordino rosso tagliato, se proprio volessi essere pignola: i colori grigio bianco e nero sono fantastici da soli.

Hi Vinicio,
This is one excellent sharp shot great use of light with superb colour, and what a beautiful piece of machinery, I've seen some really nice machines with my husband, who is very interested in machines, but this has got to be in the top ten, well done indeed Vinicio.
Regards Irene

Hi Vinicio,
I like the great capture of the different materials with very high quality. Good colors and luminosity.
Well done!

What is really amazing in this picture is its sharpness. Of course, the light control is first class, the colours superb and the compo excellent. Well done.

Ciao Vinicio,
Quite an interesting structure, I had no idea of what it could be except a rock band of the 70's ;-)
A good vertical framing and a photo where you managed to keep the annoying reflections to the minimum.
Buona giornata,

Hello Vinicio,
A spectacular engine, lovely industrial picture, you show us these with a excellent sharpness and clarity, also your note is very interesting, I use your words, this is a beautiful old machine is a monument to the technology of today, good for a visit of students in these matter.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

...Ed era anche il nome di una band americana anni 70 che suonava un blues-rock mica male!
strana foto Vinicio, con un soggetto unico e che non si vede molto spesso!
ottima qualitΰ, luce e bei riflessi sulle superfici di quell'....accrocchio!
devo farla vedere a mia moglie questa foto, θ un temibile fisico....:)
ciao e buon w.e.

Ciao Vinicio,
Bellissima foto tecnologica, questo generatore fa paura se penso a quello che avevamo a scuola tanti anni fa, lo ricordo ancora, perchθ dopo una ricreazione a palle di neve siamo rientrati un pς bagnati e mentre il prof spiegava questo apparato, un filo si θ staccato e venti ragazzi umidicci appoggiati alla cattedra hanno presso la scossa contemporaneamente, pochi A ma tanti V, salto collettivo anche comico, ma dopo 30 anni ricordo ancora la botta,
scusa per la lunghezza
notte
Giuseppe
