Interesting you should mention that. I remember back as a kid making a
geiger-counter supply and it used a small spark gap to rectify the
current some what akin to what you describe. I think the circuit I was
using was from one of the old issues of the origional Popular Electronics
from some time in the 1950's. I'll have to dig them out of my attic some
time and look.
