Spark Gaps



Original poster: "Troy D. Taylor by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>" <troy-at-ezcoding-dot-com>

Hello, I am to the point where I need to start thinking about the spark gap
for my tesla coil.

Its going to be a "mini" tesla coil - table top size.  I have a 15/60
Franceformer for the supply.  What is the cheapest/quickest spark gap I
could use without running the risk for hosing the NST?  Could someone give
me a reference to spark gaps?

I noticed most sites just sorta skip over how they made their "simple" spark
gap. While they go into great deal on their rotary ones. :)  I also heard
discussion that a rotary is not ideal for a NST.

Thanks!

Troy
