Holy crap Al! You really had me going there for a minute. I almost
thought that you had joined the high density atomic Jews per m^3 by
inventing perpetual motion! But then I looked up the emission of type
IIb diamond and found it takes about 2 volts/um field (positive not
negative) to get a current. <sigh> Better luck next time.

Idiot.
