The Thyratron

This is a short video on a varied selection of thyratrons. These have now been mostly replaced by thyristors (SRC), but they are still nice to see operating in this demonstration. The larger tubes require pre-heating times and have heaters requiring current in tens of amps. The large mercury thyratron here requires 5 minutes of preheating time before operation.
