Re: [TCML] Let's try this again... - was: [TCML] MMC pics



Last time I looked Electronics Goldmine (www.goldmine-elec.com) had some high voltage resistors available. I picked up some 18meg, 4kv resistors, but I haven't used them yet. Actual high voltage resistors may not really offer much in this application other than a physically larger distance between leads for voltage standoff... Not sure if that's worth the expense.

Today I made a new MMC. I took apart the old one and straightened all the leads the best I could. I then found an unused cutting board (it's blue, I hope that doesn't matter) in my kitchen and used it to mount the caps. I drilled holes in the board and cut it lengthwise to make two long, narrow boards (it's tough to cut the plastic with a jigsaw; it melts behind the blade). I used too much solder than I wanted to, the leads weren't clean.

I made two boards of six caps. The caps are in series with the resistors parallel. Pictures submitted for approval.

What do you think?  Are they Tesla worthy??
Now they look ok. I would prefer physically larger resistors, or several in series, but these probably will work. To cut plastic with a jigsaw, apply some oil to the blade. Cuts like butter then.
