So how for does the invisible arc jump. His hand was 8-10 inches away.
It wasn`t me. My hand was maybe 6 inches away, and I felt no static
pop. The only time I`ve seen a normal static arc jump much longer than
an inch or so was in extreme circumstances. Arc gap generators, St
Elmos fire discharging off an antenna cable in a fog on boat. That sort
of thing. In those cases it was quite visible.
------------------------
I Googled to see if the flow of an insulating gas could transfer charge like
the belt of a van de Graaff generator and what I found was that it has to
contain particles, clean gas won`t.
I thought I remembered a small shock from operating air tools.
This says yes:
