Proslul především vynálezem Vande Graaffova generátoru, tedy elektrostatického stroje umožňujícího nabíjet kovovou kouli na velmi vysoké napětí (1929).
Robert Jemison VandeGraaff (1901-1967) was an Alabama-born physicist who developed an electrostatic generator, named for him, that accelerated subatomic particles for use in nuclear physics research.
Robert Jemison VandeGraaff (December 20, 1901 – January 16, 1967) was an American physicist known for his design and construction of high-voltage Van de Graaff generators.
Robert Jemison VandeGraaff was an American physicist and inventor of the Van de Graaff generator, a type of high-voltage electrostatic generator that serves as a type of particle accelerator.
Small VandeGraaff machines are produced for entertainment, and for physics education to teach electrostatics; larger ones are displayed in some science museums.
Robert Jemison VandeGraaff se narodil v Tuscaloose v Alabamě. Jeho máma Minnie Cherokee Hargrove a táta Adrian Sebastian Vande Graaffa měli ještě čtyři starší syny.
