Diamonds are insulators, but conduct pretty well when ultra violet light is shined upon. This was considered to be too expensive, and no-one ever built a switch that big. So Eric and Murali fell back to ionizing spark plug switches (don’t know if it’s the right name). But what you’re now proposing is something different.
patentable?
