Due to the recent discussions on safety gap, and air breakdownvoltage, I need some clarification. Are you guys saying that if onehas sufficient energy, and a resonant , or str cap, then chargingvoltage is dependent on spark gap length? This explains why outputgets bigger as one opens the gap. So is this why a 35kV maxwell canblow with a 14.4 pig or PT? How does one keep there caps healthy in aballast controled situation, where output is somewhat unlimited? Irealize most ballasted coil configs use rotaries, but right now I'musing a sucker gap with my PT.
