Instant Start Thyratron Switch.

Abstract

Efforts into developing an instant-start thyratron that requires no external heater power are described. Design work on the envelope assembly and cathode structure are basically complete, but an adequate solution to a passive reservoir has not been achieved. These problems and possible solutions are addressed. (Author)
