:-XDave, you mentioned resonant action earlier.
I think the collision is a major part of all of meyers work, and the resonant action is basically a
threshold point at which dissassociation goes geometrial. Of course the resonant
action does not occur at a specific voltage, it's dependant on a number of factors like
voltage, frequency, leakage current, plate gap etc.
I think it's collision as well as the snapping action which cause disassociation.
That's why hvdc does not produce a lot of gas. Hydrocars posted a while back
about having successfully putting hvdc across water and only producing
small amounts of gas.
