An apparatus and a method for enhancing power output, the apparatus comprising: a thyristor having an anode, a cathode and a gate; and a controller connected to the gate, the cathode and the anode wherein, when the anode is provided with a voltage, the controller is configured for activating the thyristor to allow current flow between the anode and the gate in a first instance and is configured for activating the thyristor to allow current flow between the gate and the cathode in a second instance so as to provide the cathode with an enhanced voltage, the enhanced voltage being an enhancement of the voltage at the anode. 1. An apparatus for enhancing power output , the apparatus comprising:a thyristor having an anode, a cathode and a gate; anda controller connected to the gate, the cathode and the anodewherein, when the anode is provided with a voltage, the controller is configured for activating the thyristor to allow current flow between the anode and the gate in a first instance and is configured for activating the thyristor to allow current flow between the gate and the cathode in a second instance so as to provide the cathode with an enhanced voltage, the enhanced voltage being an enhancement of the voltage at the anode.2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller activates the thyristor to allow current flow between the anode and the gate in the first instance through a regulating signal and the regulating signal comprising:a first time period having a pulsating wave; anda second time period with voltage rising to the voltage at the anode.3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , the regulating signal comprising:a third time period having a voltage dropping from the voltage at the anode to a lower voltage; anda fall in voltage to the lower voltage value lasting a fourth time period during the third time period so as to activate the thyristor to allow current flow between the gate and the cathode in the second instance.4. The apparatus as ...
