Am I wrong or does it take somthing like 60,000 volts to ionize the air
enough to get a two inch arc. I have not converted my BGT so I haven't any
experiance doing this but I would think with 12 volts you may need to contact
the terminal to get enouch current flow to repolarize the magnets in the
generator.
