Hey!

I just got this new electrostatic generator and I wanted to know if any of you guys have any cool experiments I could try. So far I have just managed to zap myself and make my hair stand up. Anyone have any ideas for how to make cool experiments?

You can try messing about with different types of gas discharge devices (fluorescent bulbs, neon tubes, etc.).
Then again, if you happen to have a cat handy...:rolleyes:
