I actually liked it so much I downloaded the entire Modern Marvels episode it was from. Very cool stuff. Fluffy: I thought that video was awesome.

Boston's Museum Of Science has a huge Van De Graff generator once used for research at MIT in Middleton, MA. It has the same setup, except the cage is considerably larger and more sophisticated as befits a research instrument. If anyone ever gets the chance, the high-voltage show there is quite a sight and worth the price of admission to the museum itself. Alan Quite true.
