If anyone is using a DC current to power a coil beware. Direct current 
can turn your gap into a plasma torch (No Oxygen required). Hydrogen is 
normally diatomic and has a very small nuclear radius. When pure 
hydrogen gas is passed through a DC arc (providing there is enough 
power)it will become monotomic (VERY EXOTHERMIC). Gap temperatures could 
reach 50000 C. Goodby gap, goodby floor and anything else that happens 
to be close.

Good luck,

paul m
