Bert,

Very neat video of the Lichtenberg  genesis process.  I'll look forward 
to seeing the video of the actual irradiation process, if you can post 
that as well. 

Have you checked to see if any X-rays are generated during the discharge 
process?  I know that you are supposed to have low pressures to get 
significant X-ray production, but if you are playing with 2 MV and 200 
amps, that's a pretty hefty beam current.  Even if X-ray production was 
very inefficient, with that kind of drive power, I wonder if you are 
zapping yourself when you discharge one of the blocks.
