ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

Don't know if I have this right or wrong.

If you use a zenor diode on the flyback line that returns to source, the flyback will have to load the zenor to a minimal level before the zenor opens. Flyback is usually a very reactive energy form showing high volts but minimal amps so maybe the zenor is recompressing the reactive energy to a more usable recharge energy.

almost, remember what Tesla said : we could have many currents flowing in circuit simultaneously and even in the same wire !

Oh    what is a CRON?     Teets?     I looked it up but not getting notable results in search.

Since Tito once mentioned, he's a computer science student, it woudn't be unusual for him to use a computer science nomenclature. Here is one example: http://www.scrounge.org/linux/cron.html

Towards zener diode as sparg gap:
As voltage rise the zener diode begin open up and the current rise too, but when the possible source is not able to give more current, the diode stop opening and stay open on some level, where the current from source is able to keep the voltage. (stabilize) but always is passing som little current thru even with voltage about 1-2 volts.(always is acting like big resistor) so ..is no way to close the diod.
Simply told by: when the input voltage drops, even just little, the resistivity of diode or transil rise at once.
The component named "transil" can operate at higher open voltage and can works with bigger current, also used for stabilizing voltage, but he have much sharper VoltAamper charakteristic, and  have zero current until is open voltage very close. Ont he other hand...
About sparg gap we can say he have infinite resistance until arch is sparked, (until the dielectricum are perfored) till then is acting like small capacitor.
But we can say the arch have intertia, in time when is sparked, it does not matter on voltage on the input, and the ionized gas will create very conductive path, his resistivity is even little increase in time.
So almost all current aviable from source (kapacitor or output of transformer) is moved, which is not possible with any semiconductor, very close is mosfet transitors, and many people have thinking it is sufficient.(we all see the big spikes on osciloskope)
So, for disruptive discharge is probably better relay, or there is not going about disruptive discharge.

Just a thought
What about using a cap and zener to give the wave shape instead of spark gap. Titos silent spark gap.

I know that when you put your volt meter on a battery, you will read the voltage, let's say 3 volts, but when you short the battery terminals, the volt meter will read zero volts. So if you put a 3v zenor in series with a coil and a 3v battery, that coil should pulse. The zenor sees the 3 volts, closes hence shorts the coil and the battery where the voltage falls to zero volts and the zenor opens and the cycle starts again. Could it be that simple.
