Does anyone have any design suggestions for building a
non-synchro gap for a fairly high powered system at a low cost? I'm in
the process of building 2 coils, one a smaller 1 kw system with a static
gap, and I'm also winding a 6 inch secondary with 14 awg for some future
system, driven by a pole xfmr-- I won't probably be building the rotary
for another year, but I imagine that if I'm in the same financial straits
that I'm in now I won't want to spend a lot of money on custom tungsten
contacts.... Will carriage bolts work just as well? Do the contacts have
to be rounded?
