Re: Inert gas SG



If your coil has any significant power at all, the entrapment of the heat
will be a disaster.  Bill Wysock built a very expensive, very large rotary
in a massive plexiglass box.  The heat actually distorted and bubbled the
plexi, and he had to make an emergency "gap-ectomy" and cut openings in the
enclosure to allow the heat to escape.  Sealed sparkgap enclosures will
require special design work to deal with the heat.
