Re: Safety gap electrodes

Forgive me for breaking into the middle of a thread,
but has anyone ever tried using a jacob's ladder for a
safety gap?  Seems like it would be naturally
self-quenching, and all you'd need is a couple of
stiff solid copper wires or perhaps a couple of scraps
of Cu tube.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Greg
