[TCML] Streamer development recorded with high speed camera

[David Kronstein <david_kronstein@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

I took an interesting video today, running my DRSSTC and high speed 
camera at the same rate, 120Hz. This allows you to see the development 
of the streamers burst by burst.

It takes a few pulses to grow the streamer enough to make contact with 
the duct on the left (~1m distance). I also notice a brighter, frantic 
arc action near the duct. I've seen this brighter section near the end 
on Van de Graaff sparks too. Any idea what causes it?

David
