FW: poor choice



Original poster: "Rich" <rdjmgmt-at-socket-dot-net> 




I am new to this and just added a note about the clamps I use and your
reply brings up a question. I just started to make parts for my first
coil. The power will be from a 15Kv 30ma NST . I just completed my spark
gap and it is 9 tubes about 4.5 long spaced, .030 . The material is 7/8
dia 6al4v Ti ( left over from BMX bike stuff). Was this a bad choice for
material ?? I thought it would hold up well.

At RF frequencies all 4 of these would be a poor choice.  Best to stick
with
brass or copper.
