Re: Build own capacators



Original poster: tesla popp <teslas_lab@xxxxxxxxx>

I will publically applogize for hurting the feelings
of good ol' Matt.  My point is this (and lets end it
here): if you want your coil(s) to last FOREVER,
Forget about homemade capacitors.  Any new comer that
has the desire for a Quality coil should build an MMC!
SIMPLE AS THAT...

If you truely belive that you "MUST" build a messy,
cumbersome, oil filled homemade cap; build it with the
understanding that it will inevitably FAIL.  Unless it
takes up more space than your entire coil itself it
will die!  This has been proven time and time again.

I can count on one hand, the number of coilers I know
whos homemade caps have lasted thru the years.  And of
those coils that use such capacitors, the preformance
is nothing to brag about either.

So go ahead and motivate yourself however you see fit.
 But when it comes time to pack your coil in the back
of your car for the big show;  I'd like to see you put
all those bulky leaking caps back there along with the
rest of your coil in less than a miunit like I can!

Ok, I'm done ranting, take the facts for what they
are, FACTS...
