Isn't this another piece of evidence that points towards the secondary
height being the most important factor affecting streamer length? The
larger the field, the more energy you can store in it before it "lets go".
It's really similar to what Jim Lux (iirc) was saying the other day about
larger coils having a lower energy density.
