These are so cool!

Been wanting one for the last decade as an accessory, but their usual pricetags has always kept my urge at bay 8)

Bought a Wimshurst machine, very cool so also made a Ben Franklin bell house which he actually had in his house.
If a storm was nearby the bells would sound, if lightening hit the lightening rod it would jump between the bells and light the whole room up.
