i mentioned that if the field is not uniform, then for breakdown of 1cm we
don`t need to put 30kv via electrodes (for example if these electrodes are
needles), so toroid would need aslo smaller voltage. i told about the
_voltage_, you speak about _field strength_.
voltage of discharger could be easily calculated (and it`s the same at any
toroid point), field strength is not.

i`ve downloaded it only yesterday - had no time to play with it yet :-)
