spark gap construction



Original poster: "Matthew Boddicker" <shmerpleton_town@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Has anyone ever used electromagnets on the spark gap in order to remove the spark? Logically, if the discharging spark gap creates a plasma, and a plasma are charged particles in motion, shouldn't the magnetic fields of nearby electromagnets have an effect? The idea comes from a book on Tesla that had one of his presentations in it. Tesla mentions that he had two electromagnets arranged closely and perpendicular to the spark gap.

Thanks,
Matthew Boddicker
