Hi Jon,

The dielectric constant of anything is a sidebar, or distraction,
simply because you don't know the dc of the original work's cells
either. In all probability they are the same, but this is unnecessary
information.

More to the matter is where you derive 1V/cm from the original work's
application of an average of 550V (nearly 3 orders greater) to 1mm gap
(exactly 1 order smaller). Your 1V is off by nearly 4 orders of
magnitude.

Again, if you were a convict and they let you set the voltage DOWN by
4 orders of magnitude, you might ask for a cool drink while the threw
the switch and waited several hours for your execution. They may have
to suspend it on account of darkness until the next dawn.
