Trumpy,
Have setup a few Neon Transformers' High Voltage Secondaries to run a nice fat plasma upwards, across probes made from #12 Steel wire (used with T-Bar Ceilings).
These were 15 KV, 450 VA Transformers.
I have a 9 KV, +/- 300 VA Transformer hiding somewhere. If it comes out of hiding, I'll set it up, get some Digital Shots of the thing pushing a Plasma up the leads, then post the image.

BTW, my friends did not like the time period when I studied things like Capacitance!!!
(AKA... "Hey, grab this silver thing, please!!!" .... "OOOOOWWWWWWWCCCCHHH ,,,, @#%*&@!",,,......)
