Hey all.

Just wondering whether anyone has designed a rotary gap with two rotors
instead of one rotor with stationary electrodes.  What I'm trying to picture
here is two rotors with X electrodes. The rotors are mounted like they were
gears, but instead the rotors spin in the same direction.  The relative 
velocity of the electrodes is then doubled so quenching would
presumably be higher.  Overheating of the stationary electrode would then
be redundant.
