an interesting idea...



 Hey all,
	I've seen the listing from various people about a "quiet spark gap" 
and i've thought of a design. now if i'm not mistaken, sound waves travel 
using Airwaves. Now what would happen if i were to stick a sparkgap in a 
Vaccum environment? wouldn't there be no noise since it can't travel? the 
only concern w/ this design is if the sparks would still occur. As we all 
know, fire needs air to ignite, but do sparks need air to jump? 
thanks
