Have you tried it and failed with every possible variation, or are you
just reading the wiki or "How it works" and

I sorta like innovation. When we are kids, we can do anything.
When we get older, people like tell us how we can't do things.
Funny that the innovators are usually the young ones, or still young in

Top of my head: Find a way to localize the charges by maybe sandpapering
or pre-ectching
for rough micro-peaks.
