Figure 2. Schematic representation of spark generation in the space between the pulse-charged metal net and the grounded metal net of the double-netted unit (DNU). (A) A kudzu vine passed through the grounded metal net and was exposed to discharge-mediated sparks from the charged metal net upon entering the electric field of the DNU. (B) The vine passed through the charged metal net, and a spark was generated from the tip of the vine to the grounded metal net when the distance between the tip and the grounded net matched the sparking distance of the charged net. A two-way arrow indicates the length of the vine through which the current flows
