Hi!
I didn't know, that it is possible to make "blowing corona off the fingers" 
with the van de graaf.
Im goaing to build a VDG, so I would like to make it enough powerful to do 
such experiment.
Could You tell me something about Your's VDG construction? Where can I find 
good papers,
which can help me building VDG?
Thank You.
