Re: [TCML] Rotating Spark Gap

[Scott Bogard <sdbogard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, sort of...

Spark Length (inches) = sqrt(VA) + sqrt(eJ x BPS x 1.263)

Use Java TC, and plug in values under BPS for your given power supply, 
you will find a sweet spot, much easier than solving an array of values. 
 I have found that Java TC confirms this formula for my best and worst 
performing coils, the big difference being peak current draw, and BPS. 
Have fun...  Se my equations page for a run down of the other basics, 
note all the equations are pirated from the wisdom of others...
