Hello,

I read the thread and thought to post my observations.

To begin with, I am not sure GDTs will work well as spark gaps as they are made to provide surge protection when a spike occurs but not on a continuous basis as your application might require.

Has anyone actually looked at the spec sheet for them or the link that was posted (http://www.citel.us/gas_distcharge_tubes_overview.html) explaining their operation. Please note the four operating domains and also on the next page the fairly broad dynamic area. Both might be problematic in your configuration.

Also, you need to remember that you will be pulsing hundreds if not thousands of times per second. The physical limit GDT can withstand before a breakdown occurs needs to be determined...

In any case, as I have also been researching various spark gaps and contemplating building all kinds of evacuated tubes with gases (ie. Nitrogen), I stumbled upon a solid-state spark gap using a SIDAC.

Not sure if anyone has seen this one already, but it looks very sound, not to mention it has already been tested and worked out:

I have questions about if the GDTs will  work for this application ......... but  most of us here are expermenters ........ we are here to figure that kind of stuff out....... I am sure they will not work verry long if high power is  used.........if low power is used.......and the largest GDT available for  the  chosen voltage is used.... it may  work.......at least for a while.
It would be simple and cheep.

Thanks  for the  link for  the solid state spark gap .
That may open quite a few doors for people here.

I think you may  have started something though.
If I know  this  group.........in  a few months there will  be  a group of  people  in an unofficial contest to see who can make  the biggest  sparks with  a  JT powered Tesla coil powered by of course.........1 AA battery



sounds like fun  to me

Personaly   I do not care what an electon looks like.

I think the ldea  of it looking like  a bubble is cool .......but whatever it looks like it does the same  work.

I have no faith  in  " accepted " theorys .......science  has not been about honesty and integrity of research for a very long time.....it is more about politics and power than it is  research.

Thanks for the link Amigo  That is sweet.
I only hope it is a pure unidirectional flow.
But it looks like we are getting closer to what we are looking for.
I also found the pancake goil use interesting. It seems the common way to make them is between 2 plates of plexi to hold the thing flat.

They got any solid state devices that react to magnetic flux changes are able to act as room temperature superconductors.  Are stablized by uv light.  Tesla's spark gap couples magnetically to the induced A of the tank inductor and any other magnetic field around.  Electrons will drift in a wire and not draw a bit of energy from any field polarization.  That in itself is enough to tell me that they got energy onboard     You have a spinning top going like all the dickens.  You can put the top on your hand and it is hard to move around.  Cause it has inertia.  Put it on the table and tap it just the right way and the top goes kinetic.  If there is any channeling structure it goes the way you want it to.  As an electron converts its mass velocity into photons we get all sorts of different wave lenghths.  Multispectrum photon emission from the spark gap conversion process can be stored in a resonant tank.  This process repeated millions of times a second is simple gain from mass to energy conversion.  Conversion of the electron massvelocity  to energy of varying wavelengths.  The physicists and mathmaticians have known how to do this since at least the 50's.  It is not frindge physics it is as mainstream as it gets.  It is totally suppressed because air is free fuel.
