Hi Eric,
Thanks for confirming the gap design! I was waiting for someone to
independently test it out. I wonder if 9 mils is better than the 4 I use.
My 4 mil gap performs better than my 7 mil gap. I think you have also
confirmed how cool it runs if the quenching is correct. I have never tried
fan cooling. Perhaps it will help too by blowing away ionized gasses, The
gap should stay cool by itself.
Great work!
