[TCML] Sucker Gap

["Jim Mora" <wavetuner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I ran a blown not sucker gap on my 15/120. It used a high end leaf blower 10
feet away blown through 2" black PVC and concentrated through a 12" long
tapered 1/2 inch office PVC orifice run at full tilt (this from a shop vac
accessory catalog). It was closely placed to the gap which was 1 inch brass
cylindrical electrode pair aimed up through them at 45 degrees. It was
louder than heck but it sure worked great and loved 140volts in. The sound
was very much 120BPS like a clean square wave. Richard Quick first published
this obscurely in the archives. It really worked great!

I have a 14400/5KVA GE potential transformer for the coil to use now so I am
going to a rotary spark gap and a new cap and primary.

Long Sparks,
Jim Mora
