Re: [TCML] Propeller-Style SRSG eats Tungsten Rods @ 10kVA

[Steve Ward <steve.ward@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you running the tank circuit with no secondary (or load) in place?  If
so, this would increase the spark gap losses dramatically (id guess by about
a factor of 2) which isnt really a valid test.  Still impressive to watch,
though.
