Hi List,
Nice water cooled gap Terry! 
 
Another thought.
I used to work for a X-Ray tube manufacture. Cooling is always a problem.
Their solution is a rotating disk or "target". The target is massive, to
distribute the heat. These operate in a vacuum.
 
Why not use two rotating disks as the main electrodes? Maybe fan blades on the
disks to help cooling. The arc wouldn't be firing at the same spot all the time
distributing heat evenly. Insulative shafts could be used. 
 
Just a thought.
