Hi ...

I notice in the IEEE pulsed power conferences
numerous mentions of "pseudo-spark" gaps. Does
anyone (Richard) have a clear idea of what exactly
these are? They seem to be used as power switches,
but some of the descriptions seem to indicate they
are also used as radiation sources, or am I missing
something.

Seems to me the DND efforts to supply power to
rail launchers and other power intensive things
might on a smaller scale be applicable to our
efforts.
