Re: tungsten carbide magnetic?



Original poster: Lee Kohlman <lwkksw@xxxxxxxxx>

I am designing a static spark gap using 1/8" tungsten welding rods (yes, thoriated but to be used outside). I have access to phenolic fiberglass to support them. I have a total of 10 rods that I would like to lay parallel and still have some way to adjust gap length. Of course I would love to build a SRSG but that's too involved for now. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lee K.

but do you need that extra diameter? I am using 1/8" dia pure welding tungsten no thorium ( and you know what power Im dealing with ;) ... and have very little wear and erosion problems.. plus the minimal diameter makes it easier on disc design and dwell time...
