I put this info up in a thread in Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades but thought others would enjoy it.


I am sure any "Sparkys" would enjoy a visit to The Boston Museum of Science Theater of Electricity They have Tesla coil demonstrations and the world's largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator.

Indoor lightning is cool I have been there a few times. In the picture you can see a guy in the lower cage demonstrating the "Faraday Cage" these are some of the smaller sparks seen during the show many are 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters)

Here is a link to take you to their site, I highly recomend a visit if you come to Boston

Bob,

I've seen that show too. Very impressive!
Some interesting discussion too, from what I remember.
