Re: magnetic quenched triggered gap



Original poster: "Paul B. Brodie" <pbbrodie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The magnets in magnetrons are subjected to high frequency AC and they don't demagnetize. Although not operating at nearly as high a frequency, the magnets in a Tesla Coil spark gap would also be subjected to high frequency AC or at least high frequency pulsed DC, right??
