Tube: TGI2 400/16 (ТГИ2-400/16), Russian hydrogen thyratron

A hydrogen thyratron is a device capable of switching big amounts of energy. The major advantage over other thyratrons is that the deionization time is reduced by using the hydrogen gas, generated in a small reservoir inside the tube, from a metallic Hydride.
