Hi Norman,
The device normally known as a Van de Graaff generator is electrostatic according to the patent: 1935-02-12 US1991236A ELECTROSTATIC GENERATOR (https://patents.google.com/patent/US1991236A/en?inventor=Graaff+Robert+J+Van+De https://patents.google.com/patent/US1991236A/en?inventor=Graaff+Robert+J+Van+De)
This is actually a constant current generator meaning the voltage keeps on climbing until it flashes over or leaks away at the current rate it is outputting. The voltage can climb to MV value. Some use pressured gas for insulation.

If anybody is planning to build or buy a small Van de Graaff generator Larry Wandell shows some interesting experiments on how to make a permanent magnet pick up nonmagnetic materials by first charging them with a handheld Van de Graaff generator: https://www.youtube.com/user/bluedoaify/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/bluedoaify/videos. Even wood can be attracted to the magnet this way. Perhaps this effect is the way to make an antigravity craft.
Regards
Ole

Norm,
The Holtz is an elegant design.
This is a very interesting patent as it described electrostatic combined
with electromagnetic in order to get useful current. Part of the device
is a flux switch.
