1 MV single pulse with positive polarity can break 11 feet air gap. To accomplish that they used 100/1000 microseconds pulse. I think that giant DRSSTC with 1 MV can smash the gap 14 feet long in a 'single shot' applying optimum rate of HF envelope growth. BTW,Dr.Resonance is a very cool nick :)
Yep, and 5 MV can do over 100 meters..It's very, very nonlinear (something that they discovered when doing the first EHV power lines)
Note that those big sparks are usually from a Marx generator. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
