I'm designing an srsg with an 7" phenolic disc and 4 tungsten points
spun at 1800rpm by a half horse motor modified to be synchronous. Our
transformer is 10Kv at 60ma. However a member of my team thinks that a
rotary spark gap can be easily made from a distributor cap and rotor
from a car. Is this possible?
