even

more fun

to

run.

One

question: Is it

supposed to

shock you

when

you hold

the

light bulb

up to

it? Mine

does,

and once it

arced

over

to

my

hand -it

packs

quite

a

jolt.

For

those

who want to

construct

this

project

with-

out much

cost,

here

is the

way I did it.

I

made

the

large

coil from

a piece

of plas-

tic drainage

pipe.

The rings

for

the small

coil were cut

f

r

o

m

t w o

pieces

of

scrap

plastic.

The spark gap elec-

trodes were made from a

welding

rod.

I

as-

sembled

the

capacitor from

a combination

of

sheet

tin and aluminum

foil. The

wire

for

the large coil

was salvaged

from three TV

yokes.

I bought

the

test

prod

wire from

Allied

during one of

their

sales, and

the

neon

sign

transformer was

given to me. The feed-

through

insulator

is

a turned wooden piece

with

a

large thread

spool,

minus

the thread,

placed

on top

of it.

Now, how about an article

on a big Van

de

Graaff

generator?

what he can do.

I entered "Gorgo" in a
