RE: [TCML] Spark gap

["Jim Mora" <jmora@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Are you going to the Arizona Teslathon March 1? I'll bring mine for you to
experiment with. I'm not using it presently. I am trying out a 6 gap CU pipe
flat set blown with a pair of flat blowers and am trying to get my machinist
to finish my rotary. I am catching a ride out there and flying back to
Burbank. Otherwise, I can ship it to you. You can melt it down if you can 
:-)

anyone here in Northen CO have one of these single air blast gaps we could
try on my coil ??
 
  not sure if my copper pipe gap is as good, (what kind of spark increase
can one expect ? )
 
      mine is pretty stable,... from a cold start,...i could go make a
sandwich , come back, and performance wouldnt have changed much
 
        my mounting is a bit diff from others also,....i can just pick up a
pipe, clean it/ rotate it , lay it back down , and its ready to go
again,....but id like to try one ....
