I contacted George Vaillancourt who was the senior resercher at the 
Ireq high voltage lab. He couldn't help much but he answer,
here is his answer;
Bonjour M. Bernard,

Je suis à la retraite depuis plusieurs années et je n'ai donc plus accès
à des livres sur ce sujet. Cependant l'information en ce domaine abonde
sur internet. Vous trouverez ci-dessous quelques liens que vous pourrez
consulter.

Je ne vous encourage pas à construire un générateur haute tension, à
cause des dangers que peut représenter un tel appareil.

Georges Vaillancourt

The message is in french but you could use "Babel Fish Translation" to 
translate it. As you see 2 of the link are directing us to member of 
the hvlist :-)
The last link as a good reference link at the end.

Cheers,

Luc
