Building a van de graaf generator

It is very hard to produce a lot of current(that you will actually feel) with these things but if you got some extra belts,pulley, motors and aluminum it's possible. Good summer project by the way fun stuff.

Vaguely reminds me of something certain members of one AP physics class at my school is attempting to do. They have a very temperamental rail gun, but one guy I know is going to try to get it working over the summer. I'm dubious that it'll ever work, but I'm not going to tell them that, don't want to spoil their fun!
