Howdy coilers,

	I have built 2 of the the Richard Quick type static cylindrical gaps and just
finished a variation of one, which I will soon publish here, and my
question is
how does the gap get rated? In the paper by Richard Quick, he states that his
gap is good for 3-5kw. How is this rating determined? My newest gap uses
smaller
diameter copper pipes, but I am only using it on a 180w baby coil. Maybe leter
toay I will start on the publication of it.

Take care all.
