Yes, I did this at one point when I was using a static gap (brass acorn
nuts mounted on 1/4" brass screws). It made a big improvement over not
having it there, so I incorporated a solenoid valve on my control panel
that I could activate with a switch.
Eventually I went with a Richard Quick style gap (parallel copper pipes)
with a small blower, which gave the best performance of any of my static
gap experiments.
