Hi Andrew

You'd be suppressed about what you can make from things you can get
locally i.e. garage, old Hoovers, microwave fans etc.

Here are a couple of RSGs that I made using easy to find things such
as RC car motors, microwave fan motor...

I'd have another go you'll get more satisfaction that way. What sort
of power level are you intending to switch?

Thanks

Chris

Hello all,
After a long time i have decided to build another coil, it has a 4
inch by 4 foot secondary and the primary isnt made yet. I have stuck
with static spark gaps but i want more power and have decided to go
with a rotary spark gap. I have tried 3 times but i dont have the
materials needed for a good quality set up. Does anyone have one
laying around they would be interested in selling, or making me one?
Also would a flat primary be better or would a cone shaped one. I am
farely new and only built a few coils so any help is greatly
appreciated, thanks Andrew
