Tried this --- didn't work very well.  Seems the edges like to "flame off" a 
bit, even with G-10 or G11.

Also, the high speed rotating disk with holes makes a nice siren --- and a 
bit loud at that.

Hey all,
     I'm sure this has been done before by somebody somwhere, but I got an
idea.  Could one build a spark gap, that consisted of a single gap between
two stationary electrodes, with a disk, an insulator, that spun between
them.  the disk would have holes in it allowing the gap to arc occasionally,
as the holes passed the stationary electrodes.  Would there be any advantage
to this design (my thinking is that a single gap would lead to (slightly)
higher efficiencies, and if one could find a very thin but strong insulator,
it would be very easy to build).  Just felt like potting that out there.
