The anode is usually of copper or molybdenum and the cathode of tungsten, coated to increase its emission of electrons. The baffle located behind the grid shields the grid from stray electrons emitted by the cathode. The reservoir contains a material like titanium hydride (or deuteride). When the reservoir is heated it establishes an equilibrium vapor pressure of hydrogen. This is necessary because hydrogen is absorbed by the tube and the electrodes"This sounds like Ed Storms' "Gas Phase LENR"."Theory of Operation
In its simplest form, the thyratron contains an anode, control grid, thermionic cathode and a ceramic or glass envelope filled with a low pressure gas, typically hydrogen or deuterium (see figure Thyratron-1). The control grid is constructed so that the cathode is completely shielded from the electrostatic field of the anode. Due to this tight mechanical baffling, high voltage can be applied to the anode without current flow in an unbiased, quiescent state, producing an open switch.
A positive signal applied to the control grid ionizes the gas in the cathode-grid region. Electrons are then accelerated by the anode field, causing the entire tube volume to become ionized (conductive) by collision of the accelerated particles with neutral gas molecules. The tube then becomes a closed switch after a few tens of nanoseconds commutation time. Conduction current is determined by the external circuit.
Performance
Metal-ceramic construction thyratrons are rated at I to 100 KV, can switch at rates up to 500 KA/ps, 20 to 20 KA at average powers to 1.0 MW. On-state loss is low at 50 to 300 V tube drop.
Cooling
The majority of applications require only natural convection or forced air cooling. Oil immersion is recommended for low profile, low inductance designs for hold-off voltages greater than 50 KV, and for very high average power applications."
More "Wormholes" found in the theories than found in Space?

It also smacks of Randy Mills' early experiment that used
a KNO3 "Reservoir" next to a hot W filament in an H2 filled device. The one
that drove Scott Little at Earthtech. nuts trying to replicate.
