Jacob's Ladder



Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <A123X-at-aol-dot-com>

Hey, 
I was wondering if the electrodes of a jacob's ladder could be put inside a
sealed jar filled with low pressure argon or helium so a longer arc could be
obtained from a lower powered source? This way a flyback that could produce a
1/2-1" arc might be able to do two inches and have a thicker arc resembling the
streamers of commercial plasma globes.
