Somebody should ask Jeff Behary; this sounds like his line of inquiry. PBT-----Original Message----- From: Carl Noggle

We have noticed a purple glow around TC streamers which doesn't seem to be there in film camera pix. There's no obvious structure, but it's always there if the background is black enough. Are the lenses made of different glass? Fused quartz, maybe? You can get black flock paper from astronomy stores which is very black and would make a good background. It would be interesting to find out what is going on here. ---Carl On 5/17/2015 3:50 PM, David Thomson wrote:
Why would you want to be limited to ultraviolet? If you are aiming to measure the output radiation at the breakout of a high voltage system, which can produce x-rays if sufficiently powered and designed, then youwill still be missing the active frequency of the output. Of course, if youwere interested in the secondary ionization of the surrounding atmosphere, ultraviolet could be useful. To maximize the ionization, however, means having top load capacity in excess of the potential so that no streamers are produced. I suspect in the case of ionized atmosphere there would be a visual blob roughly equivalent to the shape of the E field.

(400 nm to 250nm to be specific) I am working on putting together a full spectrum camera for such observations and am curious as to whether others have taken this approach before to see what additional non visible light spectrum observations may have been made. -G _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla_______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
