I have made a good ladder using an arc welder, it will stretch an

A spark can be sustained for some time by it's "internal energy"
continously reaching out and causing ionisation ahead of itself
and then reach into this "low resistance" air, and in the process
heats the air and be carried somewhat upward in a similar way to
the JL.

In the case of the arc welder, very low.

Agreed.
