The electrode spacing was an issue as it caused the spark gap to fire 31
times per second even though it should have been 89. The capacitors were
being charged 99.8%! I have since moved the electrodes so that they are
practically touching, which fixed that problem. I will add more electrodes
to the gap in order to increase the bps and hopefully get longer sparks.
