All,

Has anyone determined how much the gap losses are likely to increase
when using 8 to 12 multiple series gaps, either static or rotary,
compared to a smaller number such as two?  

Probably a high surge impedance primary is more tolerant of multiple
gaps, since the the gap losses tend to be a smaller percentage of
total tank losses in the high surge impedance primary case.  Has 
anyone looked at this?

Thanks in advance,
John Freau
