RE: [TCML] Caps

["Rich Schmuke" <rdj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use beer bottles and salt water like I did, what a mess to get rid
of. I had the material to alum to roll my own from flashing. I am glad the
price of scrap alum went up. I made a MMC for my last coil remake. It works
great. I would never advise anyone to make their own for a first time coil. 
Check out the information from D.C. Cox (Dr R) he will supply the right
information , also he sells the caps and will send the right amount of the
good caps and information for your NST.

Subject: [TCML] Caps

Ok , I have played with the Jacobs Ladder and various other ways to make 
sparks with my 15kv 30ma NST. Now I would like to advance to start 
building my coil with the NST I have picked up a few ranging from 12kv 
20ma to the 15kv 30ma I have been playing with. Ebay has way too many 
for me to deal with. I would like to know what the best type of cap 
would be to use for a NST type coil? MMC ? I can get the type I have 
seen used on some coils I've seen from Jamco. Or should I roll my own? 
Question I guess what would work the best for my application? I plan to 
build a sensible sized coil for my first go around so that would be in 
line with the caps I would need to use.


Thanks,
Rob
