High-voltage show sparks the crowd
CHRISTIE TAYLOR / NEWS REPUBLIC

Greg Volk of Eagan, Minn. watches arcing sparks of more than
 one million volts from the safety of a "Faraday cage." The current
 ran through the outside of the cage, but objects inside were
 untouched, and Volk said he couldn't feel a thing.

Sparks flew at the Sauk County fairgrounds on Saturday as families
 and technology enthusiasts came together to watch high-voltage
 gadgets in action and talk about the fine points of electrical
 engineering.

The event, which drew an estimated crowd of 450, was a combination
 of three previously separate events ? Tesla Fest, the Midwest
 Inventor?s Faire, and the Midwest Ham Radio Swap fest ? which
 coordinator D.C. Cox said all combined "people and ideas," and
 therefore belonged together.

"It?s a blending of the arts," he said.
