I've made two attempts in the past three days to build a static generator.  Both were defeated by defective components.  Rather than wait for new parts to come in the mail, I'm considering a third design.

That's very close to what I'll try next.  But if I put my tube inside the can, it might make too much static and discharge right away.  I'm thinking to try a HV wire to the inside of the can, with a grounded ring below the can.  When the wire sparks to the ring, the charge on the wire above the ring will transfer to the can.  Maybe.
