Re: [TCML] quick. what capacitance for dual mot?

Hi James,

I'm sure you know that a great deal of coil design depends on the specific parameters of your power supply. A 1 kilowatt MOT might roughly output around 2,000 volts at 0.5 amps. However, these characteristics can vary significantly with different MOTS created by different companies. If you can accurately estimate these values, I recommend experimenting with the equations at www.deepfriedneon.com using the "capacitor to transformer" calculator. I also recommend using capacitors with a higher voltage rating to be safe. 

Best,

Amir

I know this answer has probably been answered a thousand times, but can someone just tell me what the ideal capacitance is for a dual mot tesla coil?and what the minimum voltage rating should be?will two of these in parallel work? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/K41-1a-Paper-PIO-PULSE-capacitor-0-1uF-4kV-10-2pcs-/260745364836?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb5a28564thanks                         _______________________________________________
