Re: [TCML] new spark gap
Hey Thomas,
its simple ( good), easy to build ( even better), adjustable ( very
nice), but there is one thing to consider, the base material the copper
tubes/mounts are mounted to should be able to hold off the voltage
potential created by the system. You may want to consider something in
the way of polyethylene, polypro, or one of the GXX materials ( G-10
comes to mind). Also, you may need to consider that you may have to
elevate the complete mount to keep the mounting screws holding the
angles from arcing out to anything metallic below it.
remember.... at HIGH voltage there is no insulator except for a pure
vaccum at 30 miles... :) and even that is doubtful...

Many thanks!
