Re: MOTS and the dc output

Hi Will,

For MMC caps you can ignor the AC rating and us the DC rating of poly caps.

Tesla coils "pulse" at say 120Hz.  120 times each second there is a burst of
say 200kHz oscillation that last for about 200 millionths of a second.  (98% of
the time there is actually no output...

Cheers,

        Terry
