The fogginess bothers me, can that be trimmed back any?  You see most
artificially produced electric arcings without such glows to the air around
them.  I didn't say so before because it looked good the first time around.

Electric beams?  Hmmm.  Unsure of what you're asking.  I was trying to think
of the name for a device it reminded me of after I saw the More Electricity
animation.  It's got two stiff wires or metal rods that are closer together
at the bottom than the top.  The electricity traverses upward off the top
and begins again at the bottom, cycling through that way.  Tried to look it
up and failed.
