Re: [TCML] Proper Energy Discharge Capacitors Wanted for trade/sale

[Bert Hickman <bert.hickman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bamacoiler,

Don't despair... For hobbyist use, you can use copper strip or aluminum 
flashing with bolts and star lock washers puncture the oxide film and 
get a gas-tight connection. Because of the higher frequency oscillatory 
discharge, skin depth is typically only 15-35 mils. Thick bus bars are 
actually overkill and are not necessary.
