Cult of St.Elmo

by Austin Richards
The Cult of St. Elmo combines high voltage technology, antiquated maritime superstition, and 80's pop culture. It offers a hands-on, interactive experience with high voltage that will help people overcome their fear of electricity. Selected participants will be placed in a cage with Dr. MegaVolt. The cage will be struck by artificial lightning and will emit St. Elmo's Fire, an electrical phenomenon. The machine that will make St. Elmo's Fire is a Van De Graaf Generator, originally built to accelerate electrons for nuclear physics experiments. The electricity that it produces is direct current (as opposed to the high frequency current from a Tesla Coil). This current will make hair stand on end, makes St. Elmo's Fire jump from objects, and will produce loud electrical discharges preceded by the hissing sound of electrons jumping into the air.
