[TCML] "Negistor" for SISG?

[vatercox@xxxxxxx]

A "negistor" is best described as an ordinary bipolar transistor with 
its emitter and collector reverse connected and that,when supplied with 
sufficient voltage, exhibits a negative-resistance coefficient. Could a 
negistor or a number of negistors in series, together with antiparallel 
diodes to conduct the reverse-current be used as a solid-state 
spark-gap replacement in a Tesla-coil application? I understand the 
current-carrying ability of small transistors -reverse- or forward- 
biased- is likely to be limited could power transistors be used instead 
-possibly normally-connected power transistors triggered by low-powered 
reverse-biased transistors acting as the negistor/s?
