Hi Marco,

Now I'm confused,  if the bang energy is constant and BPS is varied, then
the power draw will vary and spark length will vary.  I'm not sure what this
proves other than there is an optimum BPS per bang energy.

If one has a fixed power source, it seems that one want to find the optimum
BPS for that source which is a different experiment?
