Re: [TCML] microwave oven caps

["Chris Rutherford" <chrismrutherford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used some MO caps in a DC PSU using a capacitor/diode multiplier circuit
and MOT and some inductive chocks.  Produced a healthy 11KV with enough
current to completely destroy a 10K ohm ceramic resistor that I tested it
with.  In this case they are a good inexpensive source of charge.
