Hi All,
OK one last try. I've asked a few questions regarding improving
my understanding of rotary spark gap construction and have only recieved
TWO replies. A thousand thank you's to those two who have tried to help
me so far. The problem is that the two answers I recieved were sort of
brief and I still don't get it. Sorry. :)
First of all I've never seen a "sync" motor and I'm not sure what
they do. ie. Why do I want to use a sync motor in a rotary spark gap?
What is a good target range for BPS? Around 200-400?
OK last question (which requires most detial) If I wanted to modify a
motor to run snyc, I understand that flats need to be filed on the
armature, is there somewhere I can see pictures that detail this sort of
work. Its very hard to "visualize" what to do from a short text
paragraph telling me to file flats 1/8 the size of the armature etc.
Thanks so much for the reems of usefull info on the list,
hopefully my understanding of TC's will grow to the point where I may
have info to contribute. But for now I'm just trying to learn from all
of you. Thanks for the help.
