Re: Awesome Quarter Shrinking Capacitors on EBAY

I'm sure if we all pitched in a few thousand (or million) each, we could 
make the TESLA LIST 500TJ (500000000000000J) pulse disharge capacitor 
(rated at 10million volts).  We could fire it off every week, since it 
would probably take that long to charge up.

Note- something like that would probably NOT be a good idea, since the 
spark gap would be, ummm, loud enough to destroy houses, and the capacitor 
would probably be the size of a small town.  But I can always dream.


On a more serious note, how much power will this thing use?  I imagine 
something over 100kJ to do something like that......
