ABSTRACT:
A spark gap system is disclosed that includes an enclosure which contains a gas medium; two rail electrodes which extend into the enclosure and which are separated from each other by the gas medium, a trigger blade which ionizes the gas medium to cause it to be a conductor between the two electrodes through a series of electrical arc channels in the gas medium, and an acoustic driver which generates a standing acoustic wave in the gas medium. The standing acoustic wave generates a pressure density profile that distributes the electrical arc channels along the wave nodes of the standing acoustic wave. This has the result of evenly distributing the electrical arc channels along the first and second rail electrodes when the gas medium is ionized, and improving the spark gap system performance.
