Re: [TCML] rotary gap disk

[jhowson4@xxxxxxxxxxx]

One step ahead of you.  I got a big chunk of 1/8 steel sheet from a dumpster that I am going to enclose the whole thing in.  Horray for construction at my college.
I am planning on putting the whole thing in a wooden frame with the steel protecting me from it flying apart.  And using the extra lexan as insulators where the HV needs to go through the steel.

Also I want to make a frequency controller for the motor. Any one have an easy to make circuit diagram for such a thing.

With a frequency controller and the ability to have 2,4,6,8 electrodes.  I think that it should be adaptable enough that I should not have any problems getting it to work alright.
