Here's a close up...

As some of you have noted , yes, high voltages are involved when in operation , but sparks do not fly. Nor is warp drive achieved lol

Looks like a ton of fun to me! Is it a power supply for a very large particle accelerator? (hee hee, or a tractor beam)

Aww, and I was going to guess it was part of the Cern Particle Accelerator project. They have some pretty wild gear there.

One of the best I've seen on the net tho is the ZMachine at Sandia Labs:
