You understand (don't you?) that I'm no longer at the university with its fancy equipment - I live about 1,100 miles away in a rural community with wonderful family.
But if you will describe this digital switch that you suggest, I can see what I can afford/do. Yes, I had overlooked that. Please accept my apologies if my post seemed anything below board, it certainly wasn't meant to sound that way. I hold you in high respect and I am honored to participate in this environment with you. Honestly, I really do not know how rigorous the testing needs to be here. From the work done on the Akula device, I predict there is a lot more going on than we think. I have the exact same C/I core as you, from Surplus Supplies of Kansas too by the way and I'm sure I can find a roll of speaker wire that will fit on there. Parts should ship from Digi-Key tomorrow for my Universal Electronic Switch, which is basically a glorified high-speed bidirectional SSR. Give me a few days to assemble the switch and connect it to my pulse generator and I will gladly run some tests parallel to yours so we can examine the data in greater detail. This will also give me a chance to really test this switch I designed, which if it works well, I will happily send you one to test with too. Hopefully you do still have an o-scope in your possession as I think if we can get a good snapshot of the waveform, we can see the energy exchange between the two components. I am very curious as to what we might find and be able to predict. I truly wish I had everything I needed right at this moment to begin with these tests. I don't, which is why I posted my previous reply, but I will be ready shortly and follow through with my commitment to this research.
