In a recent search of the VDG, the article (in Wikepedia) stated that this type of static discharge generator has a steady or virtually unchanging (and low) current source while voltage can increase tremendously. It's my understanding that this is due to infinite resistance?
My question how is...
Just a rather late blooming physics nerd here who is interested in building a ruby laser at home. Would love to get some input especially about acquiring the essential parts: rod; flash lamp, power source, etc. Thanks
