Some kind of "record" for spark length unqualified as to any reference is
all well and good, I suppose. But why not go one better and propose it
for >spark length per primary volt<, hmmm? Expressed in millimeters per
volt to make it more impressive. And let one & all, 19th cy. or 20th cy.
technologies, join in; but let each qualify their gear as to solid state
or not--"spark" or "solid".
I give you 3.8, solid, right now; and more later. Let's hear it now from
those 10,000 volt people! Hah!
