Default Airgun plans?

You figure the circuitry out..Ill build the Steamgun. Stainless steel

The circuitry is no problem, but I have no idea at the moment how to
initiate a rapid ( 1000 microseconds) capacitive discharge into a
drop of water, other than perhaps a consumable electrode. Figuring
that out (or not) would take some experimentation in hope of
inspiration. Might be an interesting winter project, though.


Add some salt or other mineral content to the water so it would take a
charge?
