Depends on the power available. And very hard to predict, so unless someone has done the exact thing you're thinking of, you're sort of in a guesswork territory. I doubt you'd get as much as twice what you get running it in air.Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm considering the glass enclosure with argon gas. As I've never worked with glass enclosures or argon before, I have a couple of questions: 1. What length of arc should I expect?
Depends.. if you pump it down to a vacuum first and then backfill, the gas will be more pure. You could also do multiple gas changes and eventually the air will be a small fraction.2. Does anyone have a basic design for this? 3. Do I need to "de-gas" the glass before filling with argon?
4. Where do I get argon?
