Voltage Chamber can be fully SELF-ENCLOSED OUTSIDE the water bath (dry gas-phase conditioning stage)
VOLTAGE CHAMBER = stage G of the Voltage Attenuation Circuit (WFC Dealership Manual Extended - Design Specs). Fig 9D item 20 surrounds the voltage zone with an electrical insulator (Teflon, plastic, or glass) to eliminate voltage leakage to the surrounding water during gas production, so applied pulses retain a much higher voltage potential.
KEY EXTENSION (Chris Bake, 2026-07-04): because the insulator's whole job is to isolate the voltage zone from the conductive water bath, the chamber can be taken to full isolation and built as a SELF-ENCLOSED module that sits OUTSIDE the water entirely. With no surrounding bath there is no parallel leakage path at all -- the voltage-coupling-to-water-bath loss (BoNT "Resonant Action", Fig 3-24) is eliminated BY CONSTRUCTION, not merely attenuated. Amp leakage drops toward zero and the full voltage stands across the gas gap.
This reframes the voltage chamber as a DRY, gas-phase conditioning stage: the WFC water capacitor dissociates upstream; the self-enclosed voltage chamber re-energizes / rarefies the gas passing through it downstream. Consistent with the taper resonant cavity and traveling voltage wave-guide being gas-phase (open-air conical cavity, not water-immersed).
ENGINEERING RULE: design the voltage chamber as a self-contained, water-free module; stack in series to keep rarefying the gas. Only immerse it when deliberately using the insulated-in-water variant of Fig 9D.
