What about putting the electrode side in a pressurised chamber with
something like SF6 or nitrogen and also putting about 4 or so in parallel so
that no single spark plug takes the whole current?  How much would changing
the pressure and gas would allow you to adjust the spark gap
characteristics?

Thanks
