You do realize that you are describing my system, with two immersed electrodes, with glass tubed over them so only about 1/10 inch is exposed. I don't believe Bob has tried that yet has he? He says that immersed electrodes give poor quality, a point I can confirm is there is a lot of area on the electrode. The voltage goes down and so does the quality of the colloid. I find that 10 KV is about optimum for that setup, and it required only the tip of the electrode to be exposed. Any more and the voltage drops, and the particle size increases.
