http://www.electrotherapymuseum.com/2009/TungstenContacts/index.htmWe're trying to revive the lost art of making Tungsten Contacts for Spark Gaps here
...
These are also useful for switches, induction coil interrupters, relays, and other kindred apparatus.
Along with these contacts we are also putting together self-cooled spark gaps in the style of the
early medical Tesla Coils. They are designed for extended use and for long run-times.
These are all custom made on a personal basis depending on what you're looking for.
Here is a simple "coffee table" coil (only 250 turns of wire) run from a 9kV 60mA neon, .006 mfd condenser, and the 3
series Spark Gap seen above. It produces a 12" discharge. This form of stationary gap can be used for all styles and sizes of neon transformer powered coils (it can easily handle even 120mA) and small potential transformer coils of a few KW.
Let me know if anyone needs anything!
