Hi all,
I remember reading somewhere about some style of a spark gap I have
never heard of called a "quench gap". What exactly is it and has
anyone ever used one of these?
Thanks in advance.

Robert,

A true quench gap is relatively difficult to construct.  It uses a large number
of sealed sparking chambers with fins for cooling. It is a form of static gap.
Usually they can handle only limited power.
