Got ladders coming out of my ears...  Even most of a 40 KW rotary spark gap,
makes for fun Hallowe'en stuff, plan to set it up as soon as I run a couple
#2 wires for it, I usually just short the secondary directly to the disk
(18", exposed), makes for one heck of a show, I took a photo shorting 7.5 KW
into it...  Not the kind of static I am looking for... What I need is the
constant high voltage, nearly no current Coronal Dribble (highly scientific
term!!) a generator produces... Thanks though!

Actually, Just connecting a metal comb to a 15 KV supply should do what I
want, thanks for the idea, will pick up a 6" round chimney brush in the
morning!
