Just use a small low voltage DC motor running on a small gell cell 
battery. It's isolated from ground and shielded by the toroid so no 
harmful currents.

We do this same effect with our vertical "Eye of Thor" which arcs 
across a glass plate 7 feet in dia.   The glass aids in tracking 
especially if you spray some water on it prior to operation.  You 
could make a 2-3 foot dia version of this for a small or med nst powered coil.

WOW that is awesome!!!  How does a motor sitting on top of the toroid 
not get fried?"

   How about just an oversize "Z" spinner - don't know if there's 
any official name but Z-shaped gadget with sharp ends balanced on a 
pivot in the center?  Biggest one I've made is about 4" but gives 
similar effects on a small scale.  Maybe a much bigger one on a 
high-powered coil would also work.  The pictures are great!
