SPARK_GAP_SWITCH

Bank of 111 spark gaps switches 30 kV in less thon 10 millimicrosec, to explode wire for generating plasma in shock tube or generating hypersonic waves in wind tunnel. Jitter problem is solved by using one spark gap to trigger another. Thyratron V1 fires section 1 having single gap, and this triggers 10 gaps in section 2, each of which in turn triggers 10 gaps in section 3.-H. B.
