Re: [TCML] Capacitor Questions



Don't think it would hurt for a short experiment with a relatively low-powered transformer. I agree it's not a good idea in general.

"Hi Ed,

The test you propose for the capacitor seems like a bad idea to me.  It doesn't subject the cap to the type of RF-duty that a TC would.  Instead it just repeatedly charges the cap, then discharges it into an effective dead-short (the spark gap).  This is a bad idea even for suitable caps.
