Dave,

It's getting closer...  pulsed power "compression" actually is the term 
used by professionals in the pulsed power field. All pulsed power systems 
accumulate energy over time in a storage medium (electrostatic, 
electromagnetic, electromechanical) and then suddenly release the 
accumulated energy within a relatively short time.
