I recently came across some high voltage lightning arrestors for $5
each. They are the type that have a ceramic housing and 90 gazillion
small nonfixed p-n junctions inside. They conduct great amounts of
joules at 10 kv. I'm currently running 3 12 kv 60 ma neons in parallel
on a conventional coil. I'm thinking about replacing the two safety
sg's with two of them. I have no idea what their turn on time is, but
a lightning strike must be pretty fast.
Anyone have experience with lightning arrestors or any thoughts whether
they could be used to replace the safty sg's?
