- medium gaps (< 1 m), Efield required 5 kV/m, breakdown with stable
streamers and final jump.
- large gaps (> 1 m), Efield required only 1 kV/m, breakdown with
leader-streamer phases and final jump.
Does this explain why big coils are more efficient than little ones?
Once you get beyond 1 metre of streamers, it looks like you need 5x
less electric field to keep it growing.
