Sorry about the delay in responding, but I have been outta' town to a
big
Hamfest gettin' all th' goodies.
The H2 Thyratrons will create a coil of sorts but with a 1-2usec on time
for
high currents will only allow the main discharge and thus no power
oscillations within the primary (two short a dwell time.) The result is
more like a normal tube coil. The Max Q of the system is fully
developed as
I can count a beautiful 52 cycle ring down of the system. (there is just
no
power in it though!!!) Keeping the Thyratrons' grid hot (positive) will
attempt reverse conduction and sparks fly in the tube as all sort of
ablation takes place. Two phased hydrogen Thyratrons back to back seem
interesting, but I have had no time to investigate further due to work
at my
real job.
