Abstract
A system can produce localized spacetime distortions, gravitational waves, sudden transitions in the index of refraction and optical path length changes via high-energy plasma formation. The system includes a high-energy spark-gap arrangement, where an electrical discharge between tungsten tips produces extremely high energy densities in a localized region. The system is tunable and can be driven by either constant or time-varying voltage sources, allowing for different distortion profiles and electromagnetic emission patterns. The system can operate in various environments, including air, inert gases such as helium, and even in vacuum conditions. Multiple spark-gap assemblies can be arranged to create customized distortion shapes and enhanced field effects.
