Since I am in the process of building a new rotary gap, I find this 
discussion interesting.  With the stationary electrodes set to the outside 
of the rotating electrodes - will the diameter of the rotating electrodes 
increase when comparing the static dimension to the clearance when it comes 
up to speed?
