The spark gaps are arranged in series. Our original design only had a single spark gap, but after doing some research I found that multiple spark gaps increased the power of the coil, probably because the arc quenches faster. It also keeps the unit cooler since the arcs are spread over multiple points. Our original spark gap used to get red hot.
