What is the benefit of building a multi-gap spark gap using copper pipe segments within a large diameter pipe (such as 5")? This design seems difficult since you are drilling round stock and cant adjustment be difficult? What type of designs do you suggest as an alternative?


The only advantage of putting them in a pipe (as opposed to in a line) is that packaging might be more compact, and it couples better to a muffin fan. On the other hand, muffin fans are cheap and you could always use two to cover the length of the line.
