Ok, I'm going to build the 'six pack' bottle capacitors.
If I use those plastic coca-cola bottles, would they work well,
I mean instead of glass bottles ?
Plastic is much easier to handle, is lighter, less danger if it
explodes,
and has a much larger volume than glass bottles.
what do you think ?
question #2 -
a neon sign xfrmr of 1.5kw costs about 250$ here. if i use 3
transformers
salvaged from microwave ovens - connected in series, would this
work ? the power of each is around 800W and the voltage is 2200v.
