Hi Horace,

I read the paper you linked, interesting work. An old
friend of mine was of a similar opinion, that pair formation
in arcs and sparks could be the source of additional
energy. I don't have a copy of "vacuum arcs" but as
most of my other texts point to that as the ur-text
I suppose I should. You mentioned a comment in it about
adding a 2500 microhenry inductor and not changing the
high frequency oscillation. That seems logical to me,
why was the author puzzled? Can you elaborate on the
experiment in question?  In fact, I would guess that a
"good" inductor would act like a choke, and amplify the
effect in the arc. A "bad" one ( with much distributed
capacity ) wouldn't affect things at all. If the intent
was to change the resonance in the cell, that's not
really possible using lumped elements in that fashion.

K.

FWIW, here is some of my old stuff on "anomalous" vacuum arc  
oscillation:
