Re: [TCML] DC Coil progress.



Greg

I tried SS material for a small RSG.  The Nickel, Chromium toxicity is a
concern,
but a much bigger concern is SS has a very poor thermal diffusivity (i.e.
will not
conduct heat rapidly away as copper or even brass will).  The end result is
the
SS will look like you magically eroded it as if it was grooved by your
finger.  I also
have a physics doc somewhere that suggests that for low cost / easy
availability,
brass (1) and galvanized steel (surprise! 2)  does well for high power
sparkgaps,
the metric IIRC correctly was grams removal rate / C (columbs) of
transferred charge.

Even aluminum (YUK) fared better then SS.

Best Regards
