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

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
