Hi all,
Aaron has posted several times about the similarities between the Gray tube and the water spark plug, for example in this circuit:

As far as I understand, it appears to be possible to combine a HV low current source with a LV high current source, which would give you under certain conditions a HV, high current pulse trough your spark gap. According to Frolov, you may see a negative resistance in a sprak gap under certain conditions:
Frolov on resonant tuning and the Avramenko plug
If we then take a look back at Aarons circuit, then it would be worth to try moving the load from the booster-cap line to the ground connection of the spark plug, as Aaron shows here in his "2 point silent plasma" (bottom-right):

So, what I'm trying to say comes down to this: there appear to be significant similarties between gotoluc's water spark plug circuit and Gray's tube.
So, has anyone actually tried to replace the Gray tube with such a "water" spark plug to power a load, like popping magnets or powering a motor, where the load is connected between the plug ground and earth ground ???

Code:
Towards the end of the 1960s Prof. Alexander V. Chernetsky and Uri A. Galkin, Institute of Electrical Engineering, Moscow, carried out experiments using strong arc currents and observed a phenomenon they called, the "self- generating discharge". Figure 1 shows the voltage U and current I for this special case of arc. _ _ / \ current I /\ \ / \ \ _ / \ \ _ _ ----------------\--------------------------- t \ -- \ / \ \ _/ voltage U Figure 1 Note that for part of the cycle the current is increasing while the voltage is decreasing. dI/dt>0 for dU/dt<0 F.1 Negative resistance takes place R = U/I F.2 This fact means that in the process of the self-generating discharge, by Chernetsky, the power P = I U F.3 is the inflow into the system from an outside source.
