Re: electrode distance for stationary spark gap



Original poster: Blake Hartley <teslaspud@xxxxxxxxx>

Chistopher,

I have started with two bolts that you can unscrew to make the gap
larger. Start with a small gap and hook up the power supply,
increasing the gap until there are no sparks, aand then pulling them
back in a little. Even though this works, you are probably better of
using a couple of pieces of copper pipe to form a multi-gap.

Cheers,
Blake
