Very cool pics. I remember seeing these before a while ago. Whle the main 
purpose of the coil is a bipolar system, I definately want to experiment 
with a tripolar setup.

Marc's gaps could be used I would imagine.

That's the thing. I don't want to run these for microsecond bursts. I'm 
shooting for 30sec runs at least. Preferably with the Wye discharge. It 
looks much cooler than the Delta would. I'd like to have all 3 gaps computer 
controlled to be able to vary firing time and sequencing independantly to 
see the effects of changing things in realtime.
