Re: [TCML] Voltage - Gap



Clive, 
That is actually a very interesting point.    
I would imagine that an orientation relative to the primary coil would have to include the planes of the plates for eddy current heating.     Which if my internal understanding of the caps is correct would mean the normal orientation. 

But I would also imagine that you would have to put the cap pretty close  to the primary coil for this to be a problem. 

I shall do a search of the list archives when I get home as this has peaked my curiosity.

A valid point that someone made some time ago is that there may be a specific alignment of the capacitor that would cause large circulating currents to be set up inside, which could generate heat, causing it to burst

Clive

That's interesting Joe, hmmmm 
I wonder why some people seem to never have problems with the maxwells and you have had two incidents. 
I would love to run your coil parameters threw my sheet and see how the outputs compare to mine and other peoples coils. If your willing to provide your parameters that is, let me know and I will send you a message with the details I would need. 




Thanks, 
John "Jay" Howson IV
