I need 10 - 20 kV range and approx 50 to 75 uFD value. I have some nice 1.5 uF at 100 kV but that would probably put the soda can in orbit. I need a smaller value in the range 3-5 kJoules.And what is wrong with orbiting soda cans?
Since it's an easy calculation.. 7 km/sec orbital velocity, 0.3kg, energy is 49E6*0.3/2 = 7.3 MegaJoules (of course, you'd need to have a vacuum in which to accelerate your soda can)
1.5uF @ 100kV is only 7.5 kJ.. you'd need at least a 1000 of them. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
