Note that there are two Tesla coils that flank the Van de Graaff generator in the picture.

Indeed. It has been many years since I've been there. Naturally the first thing that came to mind was the Van De Graaff.

Well, it's no wonder. The VdG is an impressive sight to witness. BANG! BANG! The Tesla coils are well above the typical high-school physics project sized coil, but they are dwarfed by the VdG.
