Thanks Keith, for looking at this again.
I will have to pull out another supply - one that can
take me up into the voltage range you speak of. But I
know just the puppy - its lurking in my junk boxes
right now.
You ask if there is anything else I would like you to
try for now - just one other

2. I tried Keith's suggestion of looking at different
dilutions of NaCl - going from saturated to way down
to less than .01M. Hmmm...sorry. Could not get the
sheath or plasma to start. Just electrolysis.
You don't have enough voltage to start it. I was working in

Hi Nick.
You write:
Steam or electrodynamic?
Steam. It's like this. Your salt solution is conductive, and
low currents will produce the ordinary electrolytic reaction at
the cathode. Increasing the voltage will increase
the current, forcing the reaction to the rate limiting
step and burning up

I wonder
