Re: small 4KV transformer, anyone?

As they say the only stupid question is the one unasked, but I was 
wondering what is the largest VDG that could be built and still be 
considered safe (tho perhaps uncomfortable) to be hit by? I came 
across 400kV 10uA ones when I was in high school. Is that the "safe" 
limit (considerig alot of goofball kids around it)? Was thinking of 
using 1 of those 30" steel ball lawn ornaments I have lying around to 
make one whenever I can find some suitable 4-6" pullies (aluminum and 
teflon hard to find), just don't wanna kill myself when I go to do 
the hair-standing stunt.
