Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this. If it isn't, will the moderator please move it to the correct one. (Oops .. this prob should be in "Scenery" .. sorry)
I have been "drooling" over the new static flockers, but they want soooo much money for one. I came across a reference to a homemade one in a yahoo HO group, but no plans or hint as to where to find them. Soooo, after much searching I finally found the plans, AND ... where the cheapest place to get the most important part .. the negative ion generator.
Plans:

Ion Generator:

(this is the 120 volt one, no one seems to have the 12 volt ones any more. So, since this is full household current * BE CAREFUL !! *)
I bought 2, just in case I screw up my first attempt . If this works as well as I hope, I may just buy a few dozen, assemble, and then sell them at a fraction of what Noch charges.
