Hi,

In big HV lab they often used hv terminal maid of many small aluminium 
curved plate, if you want a terminal 5 to 10 feet big it's more 
practical to use this instead of a big spinning part. If the curve and 
placement of the plate is right the terminal behave more or less like a 
big single part terminal .  in the desing of these terminal you need to 
shape and place the small plates in a way that they sheild each other 
border.

I try to find information on how to build them to have max performance 
without success.

I know many of you like Antonio and other study electrostatic, Bruce 
and Rogowski profiles. May be some of you could help.

I probably can find a stock of cheap serving spoon,  may be I can use 
them by bending the handle and arrenging them in a sphere shape.

Cheers,

Luc Benard
