What exactly is meant by BANG SIZE?
I see it referred to as being separate from arc length.
Someone care to fill me in?

Hi Luke,
     Simply put, Bang size is the amount of energy transferred each time 
the spark gap fires. Bang size - primary circuit losses = energy available 
to the secondary on each break.
