Take a look at this site. It's one of the best on the subject of HV
projects:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/electricstuff/

Especially this page:

I've been meaning to do some HV experiments for a while, but so far I
haven't got round to it. I have a vacuum pump ready for making some cool
low pressure discharges inside glass tubes...

What a fantastic website! Thanks a lot! My son will be thrilled and my
wife will give me a very hard time about these 9kV projects. (I did
not tell her about thoriated electrodes either) Looks like I can be in
business in 1/2 hour. I will try to buy some bare solid copper wire
tonight. Very exciting and just in time for our Halloween.
