Wow a giga volt spike! Is that what you want me to see?

Yeah. That'll make a pretty nice arc in real life, huh? Of course all the parasitics have been left out, but even adding them in will still leave enough voltage for a nice arc, so "arc imitates life." ;)

Sure but if you'd only seen the simulation would you know that? Perhaps the kid seeing the simulation would think this will make a great 1 Giga Volt source!

Anyway at the present time I'm making my living by selling 'real' physics apparatus, so I'm far from an unbiased observer.

Grin, Say does spice even do energy conservation.

We sure did, in EE labs.

I, also, have a great affinity for nicely working hardware, but I love the amount of time and drudgery simulation saves me during development.

--- Sure, if you tell it to. ;)
