Kyle, nice work as always. Couldn't the plate (the support of the net charge) be simply the inside surface of the glass tube, and the plasma be just the conducting "wire" leading to that plate? In this case, suppressing the "wire" would also stop your oscillator wouldn't it? But it wouldn't change the ch Michel "the static" > what specifically would you like me to do with it first? > > If charge to a DC potential, I suppose the glass walls can withstand a few > kV.
