Helical or spiral discharges are formed with the surounding magnetic field
of the earth.The vertical discharge should spiral as they are perpendicular
to the lines of force .Your plant experiments reflect on the dead plants
around an outside TC. At what level is current benificial and at what point
is current distructive. Both questions nead an answer.
