As stated on the web site, the HV power supply from an older style computer monitor or TV set should be all the power supply you need.
One thing that jumped out at me... Use a high voltage wire for this job. As an example: P/N 39X2220 from: http://www.dearborn-cdt.com/catalog/HW-39X.html is good to 20KV. Please don't shortcut here...
Another thing, wear safety glasses!
I think that this is a great project but I strongly recommend that you get a EE or physics teacher to supervise. Working with high voltage is not something you should cavalierly attempt.
