A means of genreating radio waves in the earliest days of radio, prior to the development of controlled oscillators. Spark gaps radiate short bursts of wide-bandwidth RF energy.

They were supplanted by constant wave transmitters as a far more practival method of radiocommunications.

Spark gap generation of any measurable power would today be in conflict with regulations against interference with nearby communications.
