[sci.electronics] high voltage toys

kevin@ucrmath.UCR.EDU (kevin lund) (11/13/89)

  I'm looking for references on how to build a Jacob's ladder and/or other
related projects.  Sources for parts would also be appreciated (big
transformers?).  Yes, I know it's dangerous; I don't plan to run it when
the cat's around...
  
    thanks

     If this guy needs help figuring out how to build a Jacob's ladder,
we probably shouldn't tell him anything.  He'll just get himself into
trouble.
     
     Somebody might tell him how to make a small Van de Graff, which is
one of the less dangerous ways to play around with high voltages.
