Yes, you are correct. After posting I realized the arc was most likely
"pulled" to that length and did not initially jump an air gap. Just as a
jacobs ladder requires the start spacing of the electrodes to the amount
of potential difference available.

      I'm not an expert at any of this but I can say I looked at
      one of this

      list members websites. It showed one volt at one thousand
      amps jumping a

      large air gap just as one thousand volts at one amp would.
      So, I do not

      think the potential difference (voltage) is the only
      determining factor

      to spark length.

      By the way, if the person with this website can link to that

      image/article that would be great."



      Can't be right! Don't confuse an arc with a spark.
