World's Largest Van De Graff Generator

The world's largest van De Graff Generator is housed at the Museum of Science in Boston. They put on an awesome electricity theater production talking about lightning and such. The lightning comes from the generator and comes over the audience. Bring ear plugs because it does get loud. [Anita Smallin, 01/01/2006]
