I also think it may be relevant to certain classes of LENR, particularly
the Graneau/Papp systems. Even low voltage systems may see localised
very high voltage differences as a result of back-emf effects when
currents are flowing between two surfaces that are initially in contact
and are then separated.

This effect is not very significant in chaotic plasmas, such as in a

random motion. It can be very large for plasma arc filaments, though.
Is this a confirmed effect, or one that has been hypothesized?
I'm reminded of my drawing of what I think might be going on in LENR,
where such an effect might be relevant:

(Also relevant in this model would be the accumulation of charge at
the left hand side, due to the blocking of the protons once they get
to the recess in the surface of the metal grain.)
