RE: 20 joules at 100 bps vs 4 joules at 500 bps

- 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.
