Patents are good and cheap. Prototypes are better and much more costly.

3500V over microscopic distances could mean millions of Volts per meter. Where are people with knowlede about high capacity capacitors when you need them?

Hee, yes - I was having difficulty submitting that post due to database errors and "cannot connect" problems. It is no wonder it did not readily show up on your radar before your similar post
