This winter RRC has been experimenting with HV capacitor design and 
fabrication.

RRC will begin manufacturing and distributing high potential energy 
discharge pulse capacitors this summer.

These will all be extended foil construction using 1 mil PE 
dielectrics with a 1 kV/mil design parameter.

I intend to rate them for 2.5 million shots running with a 14.4 kV 
distribution xmfr.  Voltage reversals at 100% with all units rated at 
60 kV DC pulse duty.

Two standard values will be available:  60 nF (.06 uF) and 100 nF 
(0.1 uF)  60 kV.

Ultra high Q factor in excess of 20,000 and mounted in a 
polypropylene case with mounting tabs.  This exceeds current Maxwell 
values by 2,500.

We expect to make our first large quantity production run in mid to 
late July.  Second run would be in December.

If anyone needs a large cap for a PT or pole xmfr operated coil 
please contact me off-list and specify the quantity you 
require.  Price will depend on quantity (bulk) from all members of 
the Tesla List.  I will add up the potential orders and determine a 
price per unit based on an 80% order fill volume.
