Subject: Lifters work upside down in Australia?

Hi all
No they don't really and I have now been able to confirm that myself  http://members.iinet.net.au/~pterren/Other_HV_stuff.htm. Are there any other lifters down here in Australia?  I have a bit of a hankering to go for the height record of ? 15m.

I wonder if in the future we might be using nanotube electrodes as the source of corona as they are starting to be used as electron emitters in plasma displays where the furry random surface texture has a lot of conductive sharp points.
