On 2026-09-25 I answered Chris Freedom's Fig. 3A–3F (US 4,936,961) voltage estimates for a 1.5 mm gap. For stage 3E I quoted "5–20 kV, 423 DA typically 20K volts, 3.6 mV per molecu...

Per Scotchn (Discord #neuralstan20-testing, 2026-09-25): all the immersed (liquid) cells use a 1.5–1.6 mm electrode gap. My inference, not his statement: that is consistent with 1/...
