spark gaps are simple cheap and fairly indestructable. if you try to use any sort of silicon in this system it will eventually fry. you need to build up the charge on any static machine. if you try and take power continously you will never build up enough charge as tom says. if there is lightning around it would be wise to disconnect the inverter at least ,and have the thing a long away from the house as well or have a good lightning protection system in place. look up lightning protection on some of the ham sites. i intend to try this as soon as i can find some wire. i see multistrand telephone cable thrown away quite often this sounds ideal as there is more insulation than wire.
