I'm not taking sides, but IMHO there's very little logic in your statement
Michel. I would tend to agree Mr. Newman appears to not understand certain
physics, but that is by no means proof Newman has not invented or stumbled upon
a major discovery. That's like saying the Wright Brothers could

and if Tesla ever achieved miles-long
power transmission as the stories say, I speculate that the device in the
patent drawing accidentally harnessed Runaway Breakdown physics.

Please point out where Tesla gives all the details behind this diagram:

You won't find any.
My speculations are based on the assumption that Tesla was very secretive

The direction of such a spark is an interesting issue. Would RB sparks

The tips of the streamers grow relatively slowly, on the order of tens of

However, if supplied with relativistic electrons as a seed, where the

A 10MV tesla coil?
If Tesla succeeded, his seeds must have come from an unknown source.
High energy x-rays are known to come from low-volt vaccum tubes via
buildup of surface ions on insulator, leading to

By old death ray idea, i meant your old idea off the amasci site of
hooking a tesla coil up to an air cannon using a wave generator and
being fed a conductive gas. showy, but not really damaging.
And i didnt even think in that direction, in terms of the 10 MV coil.
