Hi Greg (and all other motters),

I saw your mot stack and capacitor placement and was impressed by the
simplicity.  

So much so that I went out and bought some mots.  I got 8 capacitors as
well.

If I build a 4 mot stack like yours and later added another two mots in
the same way (i.e. a third box), would the 8 capacitors between the
first and second boxes be enough or would I have to put something else
in?  How about 8 mots?

Also, do all of the mots have to be the same physical size or only have
the same secondary voltage?  The place where I got the mots also had
some commercial mots which were about twice the size.  If I used these
for the outer mots, would I reduce some of the flash over problems that
people have mentioned?

Also, do you use any protection circuits with the mots?

 
regards

Let add that I'd like to know a bit more about why you chose to place
the
caps where you did, between the MOTs. Very interesting design.

Think I'm being a bit thick today - can't quite work out how you've got 
all that wired from your text or the 'loom' in the photo ;-)  Any chance

of a wee ASCII schematic?

Cheers
