[TCML] Dismal streamers (Part 2)

[bartb]

Well, I watched the video, looked at the pics also. The fan at the gap 
looks really strong! Certainly a good thing. I'm not so sure about the 
sphere electrodes however. You setup is simple so it might be worth 
trying out a couple 1" pipes say 4" long and see if there is any 
difference in performance.

Take care,
Bart
