Hi all,

Here is a link to a paper on the subject:

http://pclasim47.univ-lyon1.fr/publications/hv_ol.pdf

It has some interesting data on streamer characteristics, voltages  and
impedances.
For example streamer velocities  2.9*10^5m/s.
That's 3.4us for one meter. Comparable to the cycle time of many coils.
