Re: [TCML] Videos and photos of Gigantor the big DRSSTC

It was running in "burst" mode where there is a set BPS (usually in the
200-400bps range) that is gated on and off at a lower frequency (10s of Hz).
 The effective bps was probably still around 100-200 per second.

This burst mode operation tends to give some different effects with the
spark, in this case it looks like it made it more frantic near the end of
the spark channel as it seems to move around very quickly rather than power
arc to the target and hold on.  Oddly enough, this same burst mode operation
tends to produce lazy, slowly changing arcs with the "smaller" DRSSTCs, and
i thought that would have been the case with this big one, but seemingly not
so.
