   Welcome to the list Tabraze!

   Whoa there! The electrode spacing determines purely the *voltage* at
   which the
   spark gap fires. *Nothing else*!.  In air at ATP, it should be around 0.028
   inches per kilovolt for multiple static gaps using 1/4 inch pipe sections.

Sorry, I meant 15mm pipe sections or just over 1/2"
