That's a very nice VDG. Mind if I ask what motor you're using? It's
incredibly quiet. I've built quite a few VDGs and they all sound like
jets taking off while they are running... even my smallest one using a
12 dc hobby motor...
Cheers,
Troy.

I built this little one today using an existing collector and a new motor.
I removed the corona ring and taped an aluminum static shield outside the
main tube about 1/2 inch from opening and 1 inch wide. It didn't stop the
butt leakage but for some reason it helped overall. Maybe I just suck with
corona rings or field formation to metal drive components.
I show a few videos one for longer discharges and other close up. Sure its
no Tesla coil but it puts out good charge rate (besides leakage) and not
bad for such a simple device.

Now how to deal with the bottom leakage? Grrrrr!
