Strange that the producer you mention also produces thyratrons… I think from the beginning that using them might be a very good option for Focus fusion. They are reliable and have been used by the industry for many years now.

By digging in Google, I also found an old (and now in free domain) patent to enhance thyratron technology, for using it in Focus Fusion devices:

Hi, just to know: why not use several Thyratrons in parallel, instead of this Spark-gap switch ?
(or even a crossatron, but newer technology will likely cause more problems)

Thyratrons and spark-gap switches are apparently close together technically speaking (both use a ionised gas to trigger), but Thyratrons seem reliable, at least much more reliable than spark-gap switches given your descriptions. They have been used since many years in the industry with success.

Sorry if the answer is obvious for you, I am not a plasma specialist;-)

WHoops… I mean… I wanted to post this last comment here of course… and not on this page

Well, regarding this thread and the “lack” on info in the past days, I don’t think anyone should blame you Rezwan. Instead, we should all yell a big “Thanks Rezwan !!” for the free and nice info you post when you can. It’s new. It’s fresh. It’s Rezwan… and all the FF team.

Very long page with lots of info. Very useful for newcomers on the site.

Content is more than OK. A reformatting would probably help to read it more easily. Splitting sections in different tabs for instance, with a section selection in a left frame.

But you can also simply begin by modifying the CSS and clearly emphasise titles from normal text by something like:
p
{
… current styles in p section…
text-align:justify;
margin-left:50px;
}

Generally that helps a lot in the reading, especially when the text is long.
