Hey guys, I have a new crazy idea, and a question,

On Richie Burnett's site (http://www.richieburnett.co.uk), I once saw 
an interesting article on a sync gap with staggered electrodes. I am 
contemplating making one. However, rather than using one rotor with 
staggered electrodes, I will modify a bench grinder to run in sync and 
put a rotor on each shaft. I will then wire each rotor system in 
parallel. By adjusting the offset of the rotors I will be able to fully 
investigate the effect of offset electrodes. Since I will be making 
heaps of rotors over the next few months, I was considering using lexan 
for my rotors to make them cheaper. Has anyone ever had a lexan rotor 
fail at high speed? How many RPM and with what electrodes and power 
have they been successfully used?

Cheers,
