Abstract
In a companion note the data backing the oil streamer velocity relationship for voltages above 2 MV or so is discussed. This relation becomes approximately independent of polarity for sufficiently high voltages and I have long speculated that the same is true of water. In this very tentative (and hence hand written note) some very crude estimates of what this relationship might be are presented. These are based on the data provided by Pace Van Devender and Tom Martin’s measurements reported in “Untriggered Water Switching” (IEEE TRANS. NS-22, 979, JUNE 1975**). Needless to say my estimates could and should be checked more directly with some of the high voltage water generators now in existence. However, in the absence of these, what follows may be better than nothing.
