I think they were called plasma balls (or spheres!)
It's definitely NOT a Van de Graaf generator.... they have a metal dome on the top and a rubber belt with a motor to transfer the charge. I have 2 at work and they don't have globes with electricity in them!

They're called testicles.
You're right. Your hair stands up when you touch them.

They used to do them in the gadget shop. I'm sure they were called something like lightning globe lamps.
