Hated for my Hobbies ?

Upon reflection Frosty, are you sure it is your hobbies which lead your co-workers to have little respect for you,
or, could it be that you make statements such as those contained in this thread:

Have a think about it.

That's what I was thinking.

The mystery is solved!

Yeah, like the others suggested, people seem to decide pretty fast whether they are going to like someone or not. I would guess there is another reason they are after you, and this is merely a handy outlet. On the other hand, this profession, like most other well-paying professions, seems to draw two kinds of people, those who truly like it and get a kick out of it, and those who are only in it for the money and would never dream of even carrying on a conversation about it on the weekends. These people tend to hate their jobs, so if they see you enjoying it they may be jealous that you truly enjoy your work.

I am trying to figure out the reason why a large number of colleagues at work seem to have a problem with my hobbies involving H.V. experiments

Take a Jacob's ladder or a Tesla coil like this one to work with you. Add a little maniacal laughter and maybe they would stay away from you.
