| attachment:VoltasHailstorm5B1030.jpg | Crank Toepler-Holtz (there should be no sparking between the terminals). Pith balls should fly back and forth between top and bottom plate of hailstorm chamber. Discharge Toepler-Holtz generator--you will likely see a fat spark between the two terminals as you do this.
