Dr. Picken's Grand Electrical Cabinet

This is an expanded version of 'Dr. Picken's Elektrisch Kabinet' the ad-hoc project to explain a least something about the fun of science to the world at large. We start with ancient Greeks and finish with Tesla, visiting a few others like Maxwell, Hertz, Roentgen & Crookes along the way, maybe some mad Italians as well. In this BIG & EXPANDED version of the electrical cabinet there are some scientifically interesting things to discuss - where does static electricity come from, why do you use distilled water in a modern electrolyser, how about the efficiency of resonant coupling?
