Hi Terry,

Could the yellow tinge be similar to operation of a nitrogen torch?  I know 
that it uses RF to cause the nitrogen flame, and that it's supposed to be 
the hottest available torch, but that's about it.  If it is starting to 
operate in that area, then those streamers are exceedingly hot.

So the difference was not dramatic, but there was some significant gain in
streamer length. Most interesting is the form the streamers take at very
high BPS. They are a high pitched load bang almost like a hammer hitting
damped steel. They are not all all a brush discharge but very defined hot
mult-branched arcs. The streamers have a hot yellow color to them in low
light. The high energy 6000BPS streamers may be very unpleasent to get hit
by!! No one knows how they would "feel", but grate caution should be used.
Streamers like this are in very uncharted territory and the dangers are not
known.



Cheers,

Terry
