Abstract
These experiments were carried out using a pulse transformer producing voltages up to one million volts rising in ≃ 0.5 μsecs., and the “Dagwood” 1.3 million volt Blumlein generator with a pulse length of ≃ 45 nanosecs. The test electrodes consisted of a 2′ ball bearing and a sewing needle. The fine needle tip was to minimise any threshold field effects.
