Can you identify exactly how is the setup in the photo? I see what
looks as a large capacitor discharging through a streamer to a toroidal
terminal above a long insulator. I imagine that the toroid is connected
to a large Tesla coil that doesn't appear in the picture, and that
the discharge goes through the Tesla coil to ground. (But in this
case the current could never reach the kA level...)
