I plan to use two banks of 10 caps each which will give me 66 nf at 20KV.
I've been using a fixed multi gap but
when I tried a sync motor at 1800 RPM, two fixed electrodes and two
rotating, I got nothing. This same RSG worked with an NST, but dosen't work
with MOT's. I've tried .01 gaps but it only fires when the motor is switched
off and the rotor slows way down.  Any ideas.
