Thanks Roger, I am well aware of the dangers of high voltage, a shot of that stuff can make your whole family feel it. I need to get some idea of how to utilise this power in order to make CS. Distance of electodes apart, submerge one, or both? Do I try and draw an arc, use CO2 or any other gas? I have never been down this road before so am at a total loss for ideas. I have 2mm dia silver rods, Probably about #14-#16. Should I go for HVAC instead?
