Re: [TCML] Pictures of my upgraded SGTC

If the 2 caps are in series and are both .015uF the capacitance would be .0075uF which is half the capacitance of 1 capacitor. If he put them in parallel the capacitance would be double or 0.03uF.

Are you sure that you didn't mean 2X "0.15 uFd, seriesed for 0.075 uFd" instead of 0.015 and 0.0075? I don't see 7.5 nFd being able to store enough energy for each bang to accomplish such an impressive output, unless you were literally running in the THOUSANDS of BPS!

>> Hey Adam, It'll average 12 to 14'. It's powered by a Sola 15,000 volt bombarder at .5 amp. The caps are 2 -.015mfd Maxwells which figures out to be .0075 if I'm correct. The coil is around 1,200 turns about 52". I'll post some pics of the power supply soon on youtube. Your coil looks and sounds to run great, nice job.

Check out my youtube channel Stan Gray and Sparky Matic, it was a last minute vid but more dramatic then a pile of stills. Sparky stands 8' tall. It was shot on a smart phone and downloaded to my computer.
