That looks about right.

Wow, the things you can learn, entirely by accident.

Real interesting stuff!

the bright glow...pretty cool

Not likely static electricity, but coronal discharge. There's
a difference between a static field and an electric field (a magnetic
field is something else again). A visible spark is static; coronal
discharge (St. Elmo's Fire), or plasma, is electric field activity.
And that's as much as I know. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo's_fire

That is actually more than you know about it. There are electric fields
and magnetic fields, there is not "static" field.

You are right. Thanks for the correction. It's not "static" or
"electric" but "static electric." I found this:
