No, a Van de Graaff generator doesn&#x27;t get anywhere close to 0.xx1% charged.<p>As the article says, loosing 1% of electrons leads to a voltage potential of 40 exavolts. As <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Van_de_Graaff_generator" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Van_de_Graaff_generator</a> points out, the best a Van de Graaff generator can do is &quot;about 25 megavolts&quot; due to &quot;arcing and corona discharge.&quot;<p>The sequence is mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-, exa-. That corresponds to 0.000,000,000,000,1% charge, though you should double check me as I&#x27;m not used to working with that many powers of ten.
