Hi Brandon,
The type of spark gap your building is the tube type that DC is
referring to. Your 15/30 will do just fine with that particular gap
type. For what it's worth, I prefer using 1" to 1.25" diameter tubes
spaced .050" between each pipe. Then a hefty air flow.

In the above photo, you can see that I epoxied the tubes to the
inside of a white pvc cylinder. That cylinder simply slides into the
larger outer pvc pipe that is epoxied to the fan (makes it easy to
remove for cleaning or whatever). Ignore the solid brass gap sitting
on the floor (that was just something I tried and it was lousy).
Take care,
Bart

I was recently sifting through some of your guys' posts, and found
this quote from DC;
"For 60 mA and 120 mA xmfrs a multiple tube copper pipe
or hyperbaric gap is best way to go."
That got me thinking about which type of gap is best for my tranny
(15Kv 30mA. I'm in the middle of building a Richard Quick Spark Gap
for it. Should I resume building it, or should I resort to one of
the other types of gaps before I get too far into this one?
Thanks everyone,
Brandon
