Re: [TCML] Sync gap setup

Brad,

It's hard to adjust phase properly by just shifting the disc on the shaft.  The
position can be very critical.  It helps if
the motor is the type that is mounted in a cradle.  This way you can leave
the cradle screws slightly loose so the motor can be rotated to various
positions, and each position can be tested to find the best position (longest
spark output) by trial and error.  Either that or build my phase controller circuit.

Subject: [TCML] Sync gap setup


Hello,

	I need some help setting up a synchronous rotary gap. I have built 

several coils with static gaps. This is the first sync one. Gap is 1800 

RPM motor and four tungsten flying  electrodes, and 2 stationary. Phase 

is adjusted by disc position. Have built a larger MMC bank for rotary 

operation per a design program. Any help on getting the phase adjusted 

with simple tools would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
