I'm interested in these, too.  I've found several sources for these
interrupters but no information on trigger input voltage or whether the gap
remains open long enough to allow sufficient ringing.  The triggers can be
purchased with operating voltages between .3 and 100KV and can handle up to
.5 Coulombs.  Here is one such site...

I'd like to hear other's experience with these.
