Re: [TCML] Morris and Lee

 Oops, I was referring to someday wanting to make the larger Cunningham coil (already have a M&L VDG).  Btw, the VDG you link is a grandchild of the M&L generator - Science First is, I believe, Frank Lee's daughter?  As for static machines - still have my heart set on building a artisan-grade mega Wimshurst.  Thanks for the offer, however.

geez - if you want a little van de graff generator, I have one that I'm not using - a couple of feet high - might be the same as this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320472830336 though that one doesn't have dimensions - just drop me a note if you want it and we'll see what we can work out - could save you the time to build one
