[TCML] capacitors

[Terry Oxandale]

How can a correction be made to the polypropylene capacitor reference
list:
http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MMCInfo/good-bad.txt

G.E.		42L4102		3000		0.01

The capacitance value is erroneous in that it should be .10 rather than
.01 uF. I found no "contact" information on Terry's site with which to
send an email on the error.

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:
http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MMCInfo/good-bad.txt

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).
