Hi All,

The SRSG I built for my NST farm (15KV 120ma) has two static and 4 
flying electrodes and arcs thru two gaps.  The 8 inch diameter disc 
runs at 1800rpm (120pps) and the four flying electrodes are all 
electrically connected together and rotate on a 6.5 inch diameter 
circle .  I have noticed that at the 2KW level, I might be seeing the 
beginnings of power arcing.

Question:  for higher power levels it is certainly beneficial to go 
to a larger disc, but is it also beneficial to have four stationary 
electrodes and arc thru 4 gaps??
