hi all ---
just a thought ---
I recall that Tesla developed and patented ---- a method of winding
an induction-less coil to energize / switch -his electro-magnetic -gap
quenching
magnets ----- the effect being to drive the magnetic field of the magnets,
at a high frequency ---- without regard to the XL that would normally
be present -------------- i suppose this has it's limitations re: the
acceleration
voltages-----
Any one followed this up ???
------------ how about an H2 -- quenched gap ?? H2 being thermally--
"super conductive" compared to all other gasses -----on absorbsion
of sufficient energy , becomes -- mono-atomic (H) --non-conductive
, quickly quenching the gap --- then , as the energy of the system
is reduced via conduction (quite quickly -- especially if the gas is
at several atmospheres ) recombination to H2 occurs --- resulting
in a thermal "spike" (exothermic) ---excess heat to be removed by
conduction ------ (quickly, as above ) ----- then the gap is ready to
be ionized again -----------------
Just some thoughts as i peruse the list----- (brick-bats welcomed ) :>)

I have on the back burner a magnetically assisted super-series rotary
consisting of ring ceramic magnets, not much different in strength and
dimensions to one's used on Microwave Oven Magnetrons. The ring magnets
are available from a local supplier. I designed a 'C' frame out of
1018 mild steel (two notches and a 90 deg. brake) and a magnetic
focusing keeper bolt like wise out of 1018 mild steel.
Magnetic assist on a rotary gap, especially to stationary (HV)
electrodes that see 100% duty cycle may significantly improve
rotary performance.
