MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA: Melanie Baxter aged 11 holds her hand on a Van Der Graaf generator which causes her hair to raise during a display at Melbourne's Scienceworks Museum, 27 October 2005. The display also shows a three metre long bolt of lightning, generated from nearly two million volts of electricity as the Museum's new Lightning Room show is opened and which is used to teach children about its formation in clouds, what happens when it reaches the ground and what people can do to stay safe.
