[TCML] My Hemisphere/Toroid with Unconnected Top Sphere results

Sorry all, I forgot to remove the html img src from the last post so it won't work - here's the fixed text links:

Additionally, it figures LOL that I thought perhaps people didn't see this particular hemisphere/toroid + sphere part of my original project thread so then I moved this part to s seperate topic/thread, but some posts then came into the original.   Anyway, so to include those bits of into into this topic, here they are:

FYI I actually tried to raise up the 6" sphere above the bottom hemisphere up to 10" or so with no metal connection, and what do you know it would still establish a big continuous arc all the way, either along the plastic seperator, or outside of it in the air. But I think it probably spent a lot of energy doing that so the sphere would never break out into streamer. 

>Charging by induction..

Would like to hear some more on this!  :)))
