Marco,

That's a great deal.  Probably the greatest unknown in TC's is exactly
how the spark streamers grow within the air, and how streamer growth
can be enhanced by altering TC parameters.  Factors such as break-
rate, RF frequency, type of topload, etc., would all be important here.

Magnifiers do not seem to hold many mysteries.
