hi folks.
I am currently working on whimshurst influence generator as my HV engineering project. Its an awesome handy gadget that you too can build generating voltages of the order of few KVs. The voltages are high enough to cause breakdown of the air at NTP.
you can check out an MIT video and an another page explaining its working.

I will surely give a demo of that in coming club service after I am done with it. If you too are interested then lets build it together..!
There are few precautions you need to take to handle this gadget. So I suggest you to go through that first. All in all, it is a very fascinating hobby project.
After all, You are not a true electrical engineer if you don't get to play with high voltages..!
Please check out the above link and also search for corona motor (a motor that works on atmospheric charge and guess what, you can drive it using your own whimshrust generator).
Thank you for your time. and please feel free to comment about any more gadget that you are aware about.
