Hey Gerry...

sorry for being so directive towards David and not the list  :)
Im running 2    14.4 KVAC piggies in series for 28.8KVAC +  ( im using 
variacs to go beyond28.8 up to approx. 30KVAC total output) the 280VAC 
input is drawing 65 A  for an estimated 18KW ( roughly)  on a full power 
run....     so in effect this gives one an idea on how much power is being 
dissapated thru the gaps ( not even to consider the Peak wattage at 
discharge of gap conduction... )    ruff estimate at .014mF 30KV = 
6.30J    and at 120BPS  should equal 755W per pop
thats   alot of heat...  :)    the doubling of diameter of the rod 
increases the power handling capacity squared...
