31. The electrode tubes operate like the wire in wire-cut EDM machines, having a spark gap and wear rate. 32. The electronics is a circuit composed of a spark gap , a capacitor, and the discharge through the nitrogen. 33. When properly engineered and adjusted, synchronous spark gap systems delivered the largest amount of power to the antenna. 34. A surge arrestor ( spark gap ) on the high voltage side is common, especially in lightning-prone areas. 35. Spark gaps are also used to switch heavy currents in a Marx generator and to protect electrical apparatuses.36. The function of the spark gap is to initially present a high damped oscillation at a radio frequency. 37. The high current from the capacitor is delivered to the electrodes using a thyristor or a spark gap . 38. The sudden current through the spark gap causes the primary resonant circuit to ring at its resonant frequency. 39. Long after operators no longer used spark gap transmitters for communications, the military used them for radio jamming. 40. When the spark gap fires, the charged capacitor discharges into the primary winding, causing the primary circuit to oscillate.
