If you keep the rpms low, the disk size not too huge and
use small electrodes, you will also keep the G-forces,
which act on your running disk, low enough to prevent
disintegration during a run.

I am building my SRSG using a cage princip. The electrodes
are arranged between two disks made of G-10. There is NO
way the electrodes can become dislodged, not even if you
forget to tighten the grub screws. Even if a stationary electrode
would come in contact with the rotating ones, the worst it could
do would be to bend the electrodes, but it will never cause the
two disks to shatter and let "heavy metal" bullets fly around.


Coiler greets from Germany,
