Building a vandergraph generator

[3Dsmoke]

hi, I'm going to try to design and build a vandergraph generator for a design and technologie project for school, but there are a few things that i need help with. do the pullys need to be made out of a specific material or can they just be plastic? what's the best metal for the dome to be? and any other usefull tips would be appreciated, thanks. ^_^

If you spell the name right (van de Graaff), you can get some useful information from a Google search.
