RE: [TCML] Jeopardy! Dec 18th

["Jim Mora" <jmora@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jeff, et al,

Very Cool Jeopardy shot!

At that break rate are the .1uf capacitors paralleled or in series? I found
some .1uf pulse caps and have been wondering how to best run them on a DC
26KV radar PSU powered coil with an ASRG (waiting for nicer weather)...  If
paralleled, are you able to disclose the power needed to charge them at that
break rate? Looking forward to the Utube videos...

Thanks Much,
Jim Mora

TCML,

That coil was the Model 9J (fashioned after Bill Wysock's Model 9) and was 
the same coil that we used for the 2006 Fear Factor Halloween Special and 
was the basis for the popular SG20-TC now in commercial production ($88,000 
retail).

It is (was) a SP-SRSG (sailent pole syncronous rotary spark gap) type coil 
set to fire at 240pps. The secondary is PVC (the SG20-TC uses FRP) and is 
20" or 22" and is topped with a 48" toroid (small yes, but it was often 
attached to other things lowering the Fsec). The caps are two .1uf Maxwells 
specially designed by Bill Wysock and manufactured for us by General Atomics

(the same company that makes the Predator UAV).

The Model 9J was reconfigured and sold to a Korean special effects company. 
The original secondary coil, however, sits proudly in the corner of the 
reception room of our new office. Our rental SG20-TC is in Hong Kong for the

Andy Lau concerts that begin tomorrow.

Sam has been in China for a couple of weeks and when he gets back, we will 
u/l some fun videos to our Youtube channel.

Jeff
