Correct me if I'm wrong, (please,) but are not the magnetic lines of flux
from a permanet magnet, (Alvinco or ceramic,) also at right anles to the
magnetic fields in the sparkgap current?

I tried it. It doesn't work. The magnetic field lines of the loops
around the spark gap are at right angles to the magnetic fields in the
spark gap current. I'm now winding a toroid which is placed over a
pyrex enclosed spark gap. In theory the toroid magnetic field could
oppose (quench) or aid the spark gap magnetic field. Could add a
little "control" to a spark gap. Perhaps someone could grab a few
numbers and crunch 'em to help design a better sg toroid.
