Iv seen alot of spark gaps using common copper pipe, and was wondering if
PVC pipe would be a suitable support for them, also, do they tend to arc
near the edge of the pipe? I was wondering if it might be benifical to
crimp the ends slightly. As for the safty gap, Should i try and find some
balls? or will 3 pipes do just as well? I assume I set the safty gap by
running the NST alone with no tesla coil and opening the gap till it just
barly arcs over the gap?
