Hey guys,
I took an interesting video today, running my DRSSTC and high speed camera at the same rate, 120Hz. This allows you to see the development of the streamers burst by burst.

It takes a few pulses to grow the streamer enough to make contact with the duct on the left (~1m distance). I also notice a brighter, frantic arc action near the duct. I've seen this brighter section near the end on Van de Graaff sparks too. Any idea what causes it?

That looks cool. I noticed that sections of the arc can remain fairly still while other around it suddenly jump to a different path. It seemed like sometimes it was smoothing out the bumps that were created by the hot rising air. I guess you could say it looks like an arc between metal points that float around or something.
