Ouch, Richard, that's a pretty wild shot from the hip. Spark plugs
use gaps on the order of hundredths of an inch and voltages
on the order of dozens of KV.

Sorry you got bit there, Stephen,

It's called understatement. Besides, RF potentials have the capacity
to excite conduction above and beyond ignition spark conditions.
However, all things considered, the general breakdown tabulations
illustrate it remains fairly difficult to accomplish.
