Subject: Blumlein Switch Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 15:06:10 +0100 (BST) From: Joe Cummings <joecmn@globalnet.co.uk> To: tesla@pupman.com A few weeks ago, someone - I think it was Kris - asked about the Blumlein switch. Whilst it isn't particularly germane to Tesla coils, I have a reference. It is described in the June 1974 issue of Scientific American, in the Amateur Scientist pages, in connexion with a nitrogen laser. Hope this helps. Joe Cummings
