Aeronaut,

It’s already been mentioned (though not in these forums) that as the gigagaus magnetic field decays, it will generate an electromagnetic pulse in the “Blake coil” surrounding the electrodes. This will have to be taken into account in the circuit design, least they be fried. It has also been mentioned that one possible antidote to this problem would be to design the circuit somewhat like an RF circuit. Although this circuit would have to be tunable to the pulse frequency unless that were to remain a constant.

We would have to introduce significant additional inductance for this to work, and I’m not sure that would be desirable.
