Kevin, I have run my ASYNCH rotary with a variable speed DC motor and 
varied the break rate from about 250 BPS up to say 600 BPS. There 
doesn't seem to be a speed where streamers increase dramatically. I 
like them at the 350-400 range.

  1725 & 3450 rpm motors and their sparks were just brought up,
noting that the 3450 gave more exciting and violent sparks. I am
assuming these are SYNC type of systems?

How do those compare to using an ASYNC system running at various speeds?

There must be some people here that have had the same system used
with the 2 different types of RSG, and have noted the differences.
