Q

How does it work

A

Plastic roller rubs against rubber belt and it spins. This makes charge, which gets carries by the belt to the some. The charge spreads across the dome which is a conductor, and is stored there until another conductor is brought close to it. If lots of charge is there, it may jump to the conductor further away
