| We had "First Light" of B&W at the weekend of 22/23th July 2000, on occasion of a (very-)small Swiss-coiler meeting, with the joy of having Finn Hammer - and family- with us. He was able to bring his bright, up to 300BPS SRSG-"Millenium Gap" with him. In the backyard-outdoor setup for B&W it was operated at 200BPS, showing superior performance over my big airblown-gap, even without beeing tuned optimally. On July 23th 2000, we obtained a repeatable sparklength of 3.3m (10.8'), horizontally, from a breakout point to a ladder, with about 10kW/11kVA input power, compared to 2.8m(9.2') with the static gap. Unfortunately nobody was remembering taking spark-pictures, when it was time for it, saturday evening,...and the next day it was no more possible, because of rain and need to disassemble the setup. |

| No..., this spark-photo
was not taken at time of "first light", but yes, we had similar sparks..! |

The spark-pic was
taken at "second light" in the "Technorama show", click, to see more sparks |
The tree-pic's may
induce some thoughts in those, who yet like to attract sparks to their bodies...! |
