Re: Safety FAQ is here -- draft, asking


I wonder what would happen if a high voltage DC power supply >= 100kv
were attached to a needle point (through sufficient inductance to protect
the power supply?) or many needle points and aimed at a running coil toroid?
Would this not make a good electron sink?  If this did then the streamer
would be shorter in the direction of the positive streamer needles.

|Barry,

|Probably so, but I never figured it out.  In general, unless you have a
