I assume you mean the "van de Graaff generator". Better for what, exactly? From what I read, they serve different purposes. Specifically as a particle accelerator, the van de Graaff generator has been superseded by other designs.
He invented the electric generator.
You can light a fluorescent bulb
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge
No, the Van de Graaff generator can produce a large amount of charge but does not hold the charge itself. The generator must be in motion in order to produce electricity. Once the motion stops, the charge is lost.
A Van de Graaff generator generates an electrostatic charge (like static electricity).

A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!
