It might do ok. The only way is to know is to try. What I do suggest 
regarding the gap distance is to ensure you set the gap up correctly by 
taking the gap and transformer aside and setting the gap up without 
anything else connected. This is the only way I know of to ensure the 
gap is set properly.

Take care,
Bart

I removed the motor/fan from a vac from an old vacuum cleaner which seems to put out a pretty intense airflow out of a 1" X 2" opening.? Do you think this would?be sufficient to?handle the cooling need?? I hear of a lot of guys using brass bar stock in these gaps which I would think have similar heat issues.?
