Jon, concerning your report of apparent power diminishing after 30
seconds of operation, can you describe the gap some more?  A single
pair of pipes, or multiple pipes?  With significant forced airflow
through the gaps?  What power level?  If it's really high powered and
not a lot of airflow, electrode heating could explain it.  My sucker
gap electrodes are stone cold.

Hi Gary, it was a 15/60 NST powered coil. The gap itself was multiple sections of 1.5 inch copper pipe, arranged inside of a six inch section of PVC pipe. While I used airflow (towards the end of using it), it was from a small tangential fan, the type used in some microwave ovens.

I always kept a section of wet dry sandpaper nearby to run through the gaps after each run to keep it performing optimally.
