Hello Again,
                   Just one other idea I'd like to throw out there is how
about making the main spark gap electrode holders into a coil of lets say
1/4" copper tube or 12 gauge to make the electro magnets to quench the
gap.Using the current that flows thru the gap itself to supply the flux
necessary for quenc hing.Seems to me that this could turn out to be a pretty
efficient set up.
