Argon gap construction pics
Hi All,
I have posted a bunch of construction photos of my argon spark gap at:

pic01.jpg - Glass, copper pipe, and silicone caulk from stores.
pic02.jpg - Soldering copper strap onto pipe sections.
pic03.jpg - Glass base with supports glued to bottom.
pic04.jpg - Two pipe gap sections being glued up.
pic05.jpg - Close up of 12 mil paper spacers between sections of pipe.
pic06.jpg - Large blower fan next to measurement standard.
pic07.jpg - Gap sections glued up into stack.
pic08.jpg - Blower, gaps, and baffles glued to base.
pic09.jpg - Side view of above.
pic10.jpg - Glass sides being glued in.
pic11.jpg - Almost complete argon spark gap.
The silicon needs to dry for a day or two. Then I will fill the gap with
argon and we'll see what happens.....
