Re: [TCML] STRIATIONS

Another semi-offtopic "cool demo" idea.  I have heard that argon gas makes
the sparks larger/longer?  Someone once suggested that I get one of those
smoke ring launchers (http://www.zerotoys.com/newsite/products.htm) and
shoot argon gas rings at the topload for a lightning donut effect."

	That one sounds interesting but wonder if it would be possible to generate a high enough concentration to do anything?  Seems to me guys here have talked about filling a big plastic bag with helium and attaching it to the top terminal.  I believe that Bill Beatty has described some interesting experiments along these lines.
