Terry has done some research into this, but his supply stoppes at 50kV. We 
ran one well beyond failure up to the limits of one of our 150kVDC and 
150kVAC supplies. Once you establish a punchthrough, by slowly moving the 
electrodes you can actually cut the bottle in half :)

You can do this with an old OBIT and a lightbulb too, use a drumstick for 
the wire-holder and it works great.
