Hi Gerry:

I was attempting to identify which cap size resulted in the greatest
bang size, so I was measuring actual bang voltages at the cap.  The
Watts were calculated bang watts, not wall watts.  I don't think my
measurements were accurately calibrated (probably +/- 10-20%), but the
important thing was to find the sweet spot for Cp.  I plan to repeat the
experiment with 120 as well as 140VAC in, and perhaps quantify the
impact of RC protection networks on bang watts, just gotta find that
round tuit.
