That sounds awsome! THanx for the tip! I dont know if I be able to find
one, but ill have a try.
hehe, i could allways break a glass cbinet at the museum :)
I actually salvaged one of those washing machine multistacked hard discs
ones. They can make a
good top capacitance for a secondary or tertiary If you put a wok lid on
top ..heh
The distance between discs is narrow enough to creat a good approximated
feild with less bleed
than youde imagine from all those sharp edges though ...
Thanx
