There is a book by Delton Horn called Electronics Projects for A New Age, which describes Kirlian photography quite well, and includes a schematic and detailed instructions. The basic idea is to create a high frequency, high voltage pulse, using a coil from an automobile ignition as your HV transformer. The HV is connected to a copper clad board, which should be at least as big as your subject. The board is placed inside a plastic bag for insulation. On top of it, you place your sheet of film, then a thin sheet of plastic, then your subject (which must be grounded to the circuit ground), and then a thin sheet of plastic on top of that. Keep in mind that the exact frequency of the pulses will affect the size of the auras, so you will have to play around a little until you get a good picture. Email me if you want me to scan the schematic and send it to you.
