Hello,

I am not sure what this gap looks like, how it works or how it is 
built. But I've heard it is used in continous-wave operation rather 
than in disruptive mode. Seems like there is a way to produce 
continous-wave output using this style of spark gap in case power 
levels are too high to be handled by solid-state parts.

Regards, Q.

Hi all,
I remember reading somewhere about some style of a spark gap I have 
never heard of called a "quench gap". What exactly is it and has 
anyone ever used one of these?
Thanks in advance.
