vacuum spark gaps



Original poster: "Jason Johnson by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>" <hvjjohnson13-at-hotmail-dot-com>

Will vacuum spark gaps work in a tesla coil? I've got two that fire at around
2kv each and I would like to use them in a small coil. Maybe powered by a small
electronic NST. Any ideas on effiency w/ vacuum gaps? The idea of a silent
spark gap is rather interesting compared to my airblast gaps on my MOT system
which sound like an unmuffled chainsaw.
 
Thanks
