Hi Ralph....


you need to see the past posts on " A Better Wheel"  i redesigned the RQ
gap to be linear and apposed ...I believe Terry may still have the
pictures on his site ...  the gap has alot of advantages ( but there are
still a few that need improving) Im using mine on a 10 KVA pig  the gaps
air cooled and im getting great results for a static gap setup....
