 5 or 10 watt job.

I didnt think of that, they used to use this type of " quenched" gap
with no
problems but then the power systems and caps were not what they are
today.
The first book I read on the subject said the gap will always be the
most
aggravation and it is so. Tesla work can run into some money at home
depot
quickly. I will probably try it anyway, maybe I could heat sink it
somehow or
use a fan by putting the glass tube in another tube and force air over
it.
