All,

I agree with Gary, and have done since may, 2000 when I made this
experiment, designed to test the point of view.

A wire was hung from the top load so that the discharge was aimed
directly into the middle of a MMC cap.

The resulting powerarc did in no way force a breakdown of the cap.
You can search the archives for "rubar" to read the full story.
The pictures are here, now:
