A quantum video to start with:

Make giant sparks by building up static charge on a homemade 2-plate capacitor, and discharging through a grounded rod. Watch as my friend Ashley agrees to touch the charged-up capacitor. How is it possible to touch such a high voltage? Well, the spark looks dramatic, but the bowl can only hold a small, limited amount of charge, so the current is low.
The inspiration for this video and tips on how to improve the capacitor were thanks to Scott at notabs.org. Original video here with an impressive 10 inch spark! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWGIYd4W5_A
