Even though you seem to be getting some pretty good results with this
new rotating spark gap design, I think you may get better results still
by replacing the fixed electrodes with 6" x 1/2 copper pipe instead of
the
5/8" spheres. Then you would have a true hybrid of the classical rotating
spark gap and the Richard Quick/TCBOR static design.
