I don't particular want high voltage. I want high peak power and pushing the
supply voltage is one of the ways to achieve it.
I am building a pulsed one tube VTTC and I believe high peak power is the
way to long sparks.
The GU6B was an impulse buy from ebay as it was going cheap for $27 even
with shipping only $62.
If I had have had a free selection I would have picked a tube with a higher
peak power.
I would also like to be able to use it in a induction heating rig (perfect
for that)
When I was a young lad, some time back now, I saw a demonstration of an
induction heating machine.
The demonstrator placed a 1cm cube of metal in a short solenoid attached the
induction heater.
The presumably ferromagnetic cube remained suspended in the coil and tumbled
a  round while it started to glow.
As it got white hot and final reached the curie temperature when it suddenly
fell from the solenoid in to a container of water.
It may have had a timer to cut the power or even a DC current to help
suspend it.
