--Previous Message-- Not really, it's mostly a hobby but I eventually would like to go back and get my phd in physics, not sure in what area yet though. I wonder if you could make the gap smaller using some high dielectric material in the gap to prevent arcing. Or if "spiraling" the gap would wash out some of the asymetry of the field. Another option might be to have a second "secondary" of copper pipe. Keeping that from being "disposable" might be tough as well as the extra losses incurred. For the ringing, could you quench your trigatron using some electronics to detect the voltage crossing zero and a solenoid to allow atmospheric pressure in? Especially if the inlet air was directed at the main gap.
