Abstract
This classic summary of electrostatic discharge contains many handy ballpark numbers for the high-voltage experimenter.
Note on dating and attribution: this is a reprint of work of 1940–41. Loeb died in 1978 and his co-author John M. Meek in 2005; the 2006 date carried in the paper archive is that of the Electric Spacecraft Journal issue in which the material was reproduced. The underlying publications are Loeb and Meek, "The Mechanism of Spark Discharge in Air at Atmospheric Pressure", Parts I and II, Journal of Applied Physics 11, 438 and 459 (1940), and their book The Mechanism of the Electric Spark (Stanford University Press, 1941). No publication under the present title exists from 1940 or 1941, and it appears to be the journal editor's. Meek was omitted from the catalogue record and has been restored here.
