 In my (medium power : ~5kW) static gap time, I had 30 gaps in series,
 and got the best results with 16 thou in each gap, for a total of 480
 thou. or 1/2 inch.

Finn, Thanks for the comments.  I presently have an async gap and have been 
thinking about building a new sync gap.  There are a few folks out there 
running as much power as I am (about 7kva) using an air cooled/quenched 
static gap and reporting good results.  I thought I might try it first.  It 
would certainly be easier to build.
