That is similar to what I have in mind.
I have already made a loop for an electrode out of copper fittings and
have been playing with it.  Haven't added water yet. :)  was comparing
it to a stright piece of pipe for now.  See my post arc heat.

Was thinking of adding a peltier device to cool the other side to aid
the convection of the water inside.

May I ask what the blue ring is in the drawing?

Luke,

One way to keep the water exclusive for cooling and separated from
conducting electrically, would be to build this gap, soft soldered from
commonly available copper fittings, and tube. I visualized this design
from
a description you made some time ago.

http://www.hammertone-dot-com/lukegap.jpg

Each loop would require
2 small 90deg. bends,
2 big/small/big T-pieces
2 small->big dia. straight transitions
1 small dia. pibe
1 big dia. pipe

The small dia. of the pipe in the sparking zone will promote rapid
thermal self-circulation of the water into the larger cooling
reservoirs.
All sorts of cooling finns can be soldered to these reservoirs to
promote
further cooling.

Cheers, Finn Hammer
