[sci.electronics] Looking for a Van De Graff Generator

OK, perhaps the Header grammer is off a bit. Nevertheless, if you
have one of these you don't want anymore I'm interested.
The type I'm thinking of uses a spinning wheel with some nylon typ[e
material and some electrodes to surface the massive charge.
 
WHY????
 
	I'm doing survival tests on consumer electronic products
and wish to implement the ultimate in static arcs to the guinea pigs.
Of course most computer equipment is only rated at 7KV....
BUt there's something sinister brewing here in the lab.
 
IGOR..bring in the specimen. 
 
	We'll eagerly await the new test equipment.
