Re: Static Gap Pipe Diameter Was: [TCML] Sphere Topload Coil



If the gap is staying cool it should perform well unless there are other factors involved (arc voltage and bps). Diameter will change both and have to be adjusted for both. But with that, I haven't tried 2" diameters. I have tried smaller than 1" however and it wasn't good.
