Stupid Question: Who is Richard Quick? , and what is the design of his
spark gap?
>>
Paul,
Richard Quick is something of a Tesla coil expert and early legend on this
list. He helped me a great deal with many problems that I ran into a couple
of years ago when I was building my 6" coil. In fact, he helped a lot of
folks get started in this hobby. I bought his video and talked to him on the
phone a couple of times - nice guy. I think he may not be active in the hobby
nor still even monitoring this list.
The spark gap known as a RQ gap is made up of copper pipe sections mounted
inside a 6" or 8" pvc pipe section that is cut to maybe 10 or 12" long. These
gaps work great and instructions to build them can be found at the ftp site.
