I just got a fairly good book called "Gordon McComb's Gadgeteer's Goldmine:
55 space-age projects" (ISBN 0-8306-3360-X) at Border's Books and music for
around $25. It has several high-voltage projects in it geared toward the
beginner, Including how to make:
A plasma Sphere
Tesla Coil (disruptive system, using a ignition coil as the input Xformer)
Induction Coil (solid-state tesla coil)
Van de Graaff generator
Radio transmitters, laser projects, strobe lights, robots, etc....
