I tested these using a hydrogen spectrum tube as the load it creates is very stable compared to a spark gap. These tubes require only 3-5 kV so the output is obviously nowhere near to 400kV. At 5V in the current draw was close to 4A. It started getting slightly warm after less than a minute - I have not tried running it for longer.

Works well, have been using this for a couple months as an ignition system for a pulsejet.

Just testing the first one seems to be working well. 3V in pulled ~9 watts (~2 amps), I put a 5 ohm 10 watt resistor on it so it hopefully won't cook itself.

Major Warning!!! Treat these modules with respect. They will set you on your you know what if you aren't very careful. A *brief* touch to a 9 volt battery will pop out an inch long spark and a loud snap. They are NOT rated for 9 volts, and operating in that range will destroy them quickly. The dielectric properties of insulation are absolute. Exceed it, and it perforates. Period. I marked the module I tested, and plan to discard it. They are also not rated for high current, so include a (high voltage) resistor in your final circuit. Remember that at 400 kilovolts, it only takes a current of 0.0025 milliamps to produce 1 watt of current. And that would probably be about the limit to these, unless someone wants to do some destructive testing. Quarter watt resistors aren't going to do the job, which is why I said HIGH VOLTAGE resistors. If you don't run them continuously, and don't exceed the input voltage constraints, great. Just don't complain when they stop working.
