From My Tesla Coil Rotary Spark Gap experiments....(videos)
Same set up as (video #2) Just showing the multi Gap i built in the "How to build a Multi Gap Static Spark Gap (For use on Tesla Coils) " Video I was thinking i already had the set up to do the testing so here it is ......

.....Again I am EXPERIMENTING with rotay gaps ....Let me know your thoughts and I Welcome any input!!............R66D

  • COOL. It's interesting how the camera interference is directly from the spark gap. Any thoughts on that? Also that capacitor is really cool.

  • @arcattackmusic

    Thank you for the comment!

    Yes I belive the "dots" we are seeing from the Spark Gap are from the ultraviolet light wavelength . I have filmed with other shutter settings

    with the same results and it seems like... the more gaps ..the more random

    the "dots" get into a circle type pattern .

  • @r66dTesla its not a rptary spark gap but its a static spark gap!

  • @11223marc

    thank you for the comment

    Yes i have noted that in the foot note .

    I was testing out some rotory ideas on this set up ..and from another video of "how to build a multi gap static spark gap"

    i set it on the same cap and transformer to test it and show how it will be working on a Tesla coil circuit

  • Wow that was KIcking !

  • @chazmasterman

    Thanks for watching !!!!

    I am very happy with the Hawg capacitor ! This in my own design and it's being run without an oil layer on top..so.....it has some voltage leaks but it was just a test to get an idea of voltages produced.....success and ....yeah WOW!
