'CAUAC' at Coachella again

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Original poster: syd <tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Next weekend I'll be showing 'CauaC' at Coachella Music and Arts 
Festival again. This year I'm replacing the fire element with water 
so the arcs will be conducting through fountains, and touching long 
reflecting pools. I'll be running prime power in the 70kva to 100kva 
range, three phase 480 volts. The capacitors are new custom designed 
60kv units that are totally dry utilizing glossy rather than hazy 
polypropylene dielectric; Side by side I've found the dry caps to out 
perform my previous custom oil filled caps by at least 10 to 15 per 
cent. Additionally there is much less heating in the dry caps on long 
runs. Current limiting continues to be reliably achieved with E/I 
cores that have been air gapped and have only a few dozen turns.

Sadly I've not updated my web site in over a year, but have big hopes 
after Coachella.  I'm heading to the desert in the morning and just 
wanted to say that I'll be out there. If anyone makes it out to the 
festival, I'd love to give you a tour and have a chat about it all.
