MC> Thanks for the advice on the capacitors Richard.
MC> I've decided to make a flat plate cap like you have described.
A good cap is a combination of material and design. With your
available materials I feel that the flat plate cap is the best design.
MC> I'm making my suppression capacitors out of 0.8 mm PVC flexible
MC> plate that I bought thinking that it was polyethylene like what

MC> roll capacitors each of 0.0007 mfd (I will use 5 sheets of pvc for
MC> the dielectric in each cap) and will connect one each between the
MC> centre tap and the output terminals of 2 15 kV 60 mA neons that I
MC> have put in parrallel to provide the juice for my 6 inch coil.
MC> I figure that pvc plate suppression caps should dissipate heaps of
MC> rf energy. Hope to be sparking within a few weeks now! Mark
Now that was using your head! Using the low Q dielectric for bypassing
caps. Are you listening Kristian?
