Re: [TCML] At a loss. No light on second coil



The fact that no ozone is present when firing the gap is a positive sign for a power arc. I think you've found your culprit!

No. But now that I think of it, that was the only time I could smell ozone.
Since then I have not been that close. I think as others have stated, is a
power arc.
I swung by the local metal recycling facility yesterday and got some .25
inch tungsten rod I'll have to cut down and ordered a new sheet of
phenolic. I'll have the new gap up soon. I think I'll start with with half
the cap and go from there.

Andrew,
you mentioned:
"I am using a static sucker gap as I melted the brass off of the ARSG in
seconds."

Did you get any output at all in these few seconds you ran with the rotary?
