Re: [TCML] SRSG vs. RQSG

Brandon,
In theory a perfectly constructed static spark gap should do as good or better than a rotary, in my experience, this is never true. I've taken identical systems and swapped in better gaps and saw dramatic improvements, it really is the bottleneck of the system. Eventually you are going to want to upgrade, but depending on your power level it may not be worth it just yet, chances are that there are plenty of improvements to be made with your static gap, as how to take advantage of that, I gave up on static long ago so it isn't my arena, good luck...

Hi All,

I've noticed that coils with rotary spark gaps tend to throw bigger brighter
sparks than that of a typical stationary electrode gap. Going by your own
personal experience, do you think that the different gap styles are the
cause of better performance, or is it the 'fact' that coilers tackling the
more advanced sparkgaps typically have better systems in the first place?
I guess what I'm trying to ask here, is should I bother spending the money
and effort on making a rotary spark gap, or should I stick with my quenched
Richard Quick spark gap? Were there any huge increases in performance when
those of you switched?

Thanks again everyone,
Brandon
