Hello:
Did someone see what happens if you operate a Tesla coil close to a Van
de Graaff generator, of similar size?

With the VDG running? Or just sitting there.
I've run my table top TC next to a tabletop VDG (Science First with the
14" spheroid top electrode). The VDG top accumulates charge and you get
some streamers reaching out towards it.
The Boston Museum Of Science show has a bunch of large (By TC standards)
coils running next to a very large VDG. When the VDG is running, pretty
much anything with curvature in the vicinity shows corona streamers. I
don't recall if there were any streamers or phenomena from the sphere on
the VDG when they were running the TC.
