Many (all?) of the experimental sets that I could locate in old
catalogs and books, used for experiments with Tesla coils and
similar devices used an induction coil (Ruhmkorff coil) as HV
source to charge the primary capacitor.
Look at http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/electrostatic.html, at
the end of the main page.
This certainly works.
