SRSG (Synchronous Rotary Spark Gap)

Introduction

Well, like everything else with this coil, I have changed my overall design of the SRSG.  The new design will

incorporate two stationary electrodes up front using a rotor with a conductive ring as shown in the picture below.

Since there is much greater rotational weight (conductive ring, hex bolt electrode holders), I've decided to reduce

the rotor size from 7" to 6" diameter to reduce stress on the motor.  The motor bracket itself is made of  PVC.  Also

note the nylon screws in the front.  This prevents arcing of the rotor disk to the motor.

Specifications:

Motor:  1/25 HP Hysteresis Synchronous Motor (1800RPM)

BPS:  120
