just a little post to guide you to some more van der graff experiments

http://www.horbury.wakefield.sch.uk/Departments/science/experimentphys.php

these experiments are on the science pages, of which i am the author, of our school web site. i like to do lots of experiments and some make it to the site. have a browse and enjoy. oh! and it is perfectly safe to use van der graff machines.
by the way if anyone would like to see some experiment they enjoyed whilst at school then drop me an email on the school site and i will try to put your experiment on there if i can.... enjoy
