Re: BP milling and static electricity

Ok, fair enough, then I will try out my new 100kv 2ma power supply. I
just want to light something up. :)

It seems rather pointless, as obviously that power supply has a fair
amount of current to go with the high voltage. The relevant
discussion centers around the fact that static sparks are typically
very high voltage, very low current events and may not provide enough
energy to initiate black powder.
