Is this correct? power consumption 9 kW area 3.1 m^2 wire spacing 1.3m Suggestions: Rephrase the scaling rules to read: "The W per g are proportional to the kV/mm, whereas the m^2 per g are proportional to the inverse square of the kV/mm." I would also explicitly show the mass in the calculation of the area in the example section. Harry
