Well aside from the fire risk and the possibility that you might not
have enough voltage to punch through the oil, it would require a huge
amount of energy just to spin the disk.

I'm planning to build a synchronous rotary spark gap with the terminals

should cut down on the noise, allow me to use steel electrodes because
of the lower temperatures, and it should quench like a champ. Has anyone
had any experience building one of these?
