Re: Breakdown voltage at submillimeter distances?

All of this discussion leads me to remark on something that's always interested me. In Hertz's original work he used a microscopic spark gap for his detector and observed the spark with his eye. Took a pretty high peak power to generate that much voltage in the simple loops he started with!
