Hi Steve,
    What kind of precautions do you observe?  What kind of spark gap
arrangement is it? (plain, trigatron, swinging cascade, field
distortion swinging cascade, irradiated field distortion swinging
cascade)  electrode material, spacing between electrodes, hydrogen
purge after every shot, scope photo of a quenched waveform with
circuit parameters, temperature, preionization schemes?

+AD4-    At work we have a hydrogen spark gap with operates at up to 30atm
+AD4-pressure, it is not used with tesla coils, but it is in a capacitor
discharge
+AD4-circuit, and the quenching is INCREDABLE, we can operate it with
primary
+AD4-energies of 10's of joules per discharge with rep rates over 5KHz,
and even
+AD4-then it is not the gap which is the limiting factor, but the system
it is
+AD4-driving.
