@marco,
I am with you. I think discussion of spark gaps should move to where ever grumpy pointed out.
Now back to the TPU....

yes well in any case we can use a single wire and flow electrons thrue it in diffrent directions.(only relating to their potential power source)
for a simple example we put in 10 volts from left to right, and also 10 volts from right to left in the same wire, and the resulting flux will be close to zero.
offcource the electrons will cause an action similair to friction and so the wire will heat up.
then we can use a DC which travels on the inside of the conductor and another high frequency signal which travels on the outside due to skin effect to minimize this heating action.

and then we can turn this wire into a coil, and we are working "out of the box" so to speak.
then we can actually slap frequency's together in a single wire or coil, like two transformers in reverse.
if our core is a copper wire, we get eddy currents and who knows...

spark gap is merely an easy switch

Come on Marco.  You mentioned Dollard and others a long time ago.  Dust those books back off and have a look.

I will be glad to post this in a different thread but I thought I would let you guys in on what I found with Thaelin's suggestion using a neon bulb as a low voltage spark gap. The impedance of the neon bulb seems to be to high as the discharge of the capacitor is to slow. Produces pretty flashes though

I am performing these tests on a version of a tpu; single collector coil made from insulated electric fence wire with four control coils. I am currently running tests with one of the control coils. The 1,200 volt spark gap is playing way to many games with me. I am back in the hunt for the low voltage spark gap solution.

Thanks again.
