ABSTRACT:
The hot gases and discharge products are removed from the space between the electrodes of a spark gap switch after the passage of the discharge by a supersonic air flow in the discharge region created by fabricating the ends of the electrodes to form a DeLaval nozzle. The supersonic air flow clears the switch and provides a switch having a very short grace period.
