Re: [TCML] Energy accumulation on TC.

During one of our Teslathons, we took a small white styrofoam box and 
filled it with liquid nitrogen and immersed a copper cylinder static 
gap.  Very violent boiling, as you can imagine, but what was utterly 
weird is that the UV from the gap caused the remaining liquid nitrogen 
to fluoresce with a beautiful pale blue light for about a full minute 
after the gap was turned off.  I have never seen a report anywhere else 
that liquid nitrogen can fluoresce.

   That is most interesting.  What would be equally interesting if 
someone with ready access to LN2 could repeat the experiment and use a 
spectroscope to observe the spectrum of the fluorescence.  How bright 
was the light immediately after the power was turned off?
