This is probably the stupidest idea yet, but has anyone thought of
using depleted uranium for sparkgap electrodes? Figured if it was one
of the heaviest stable elements in the periodic table it won't
melt/corrode as easily as tungsten at high power. Does it have crappy
RF properties like steel? Probably a moot point in a few years when
DRSSTC's take over, but still kinda courious.
