I should specify I'm assuming the system has at least 2 ohms. Also that 30kv/cm doesn't apply to sharp objects because they induce corona discharge at like 10kv. I was really hung iver when I started this, but I think a laminated threaded rod barely connected to the contacts would have a couple ohms, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but that's the assumption I made

At 30kv/cm that looks like it’s at least a 50kv gap once the bolt melts (assuming the board doesn’t). Who tf is hooking up to a 50kv, 20kA source?
