RE: [TCML] MMC capacitor data compilation
I know that The Geek Group out in Michigan uses 100 or more caps of that series in what they claim to be the Worlds Largest MMC:Video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB2sTZGnrckI think Chris Boden is on this list and he can likely chime in on his experience with them, how often a cap needs to be replaced etc.
The full specs of CDE's 942C series caps is on a spreadsheet, you could use that info to put into a data structure for your program: http://www.cde.com/catalogs/942C.pdf
And when buying these parts - you can comparison shop for the best price online, just use the part number as the parameter value in this URLhttp://cdenb2.cde.com/INV2.HTM?PARTX=942C20P15K-F

> Hello all,
>
> To all you who use the 942C20P15K-F and associated caps to make MCC's. I am in need of your assistance.
>
> I am in the process of writing a program to aid in MCC design, and I wish to compile some known designs that work, to see how known parameters mesh with what the program parameters spitting out. This will allow me to add factors into the equations taking the program from pure rigid data and into the realm of real world coiling.

> What input voltage?
> Input current?
> Ballpark resonant frequency?
> DC coil? yes or no

> gap type?
> Max bbs of sparkgap if rotary?
> Any other info you wish to share. Capacitor life time if you know it, do your capacitors catch fire after running it for 5 minutes, etc.

> Pretty basic info that would go along way for me.
