[TCML] capacitors

[Tom Trevethan]

Hi,

That's a big MMC - 200J per bang - IIRC about the same size as the one 
used for
Electrum. What power are you planning to run at?

There is a useful list of good polypropylene capacitors for tesla coil 
use here:

The Cornel Dubilier 942C20P15K (150nF, 2000V) seems to be very popular, and I
have seen them advertised for $3-4 each. You would need 20 x 34 = 680 (approx
$2000).

Tom.
