PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL IN YOUR EXPERIMENTS!!!!

My system is operating on 6000v @ 500pF...and it works great!!

So for those that dont know.. most non-electrolytic caps dont have the capacitance printed on them.. they have a 3 or 4 digit code (3 numbers or 3 numbers and one letter) You need to "decode" the code to find the capacitance value! I HIGHLY recommend downloading a program called "Electronic Assistant" ..with this program you can decode the caps, calculate parallel and series values, conversions from uF to pF to nF...and TONs of other things dealing with electronics.

Here is a link to ebay for some caps that should work for Cap70's design!!

6000v @ 470pF ....that should work! But it ships form Mainland China....lol DIRT CHEAP CAPS!!!!

30kV @ 500pF

Don't forget to download my free software that just do that

Kind if a curious question, but has anyone just made a coil out of one side of a lamp that plug in the walll, then wrapped the hv coil around that and sent it to the spark plug, would that cause hv on the lamp side or higher amps on the spark plug side??

just curious, i realize ac is constantly switching, which is why i recon you guys use the bridge rectifier.

just throwing some new ideas out there

so the

8x6kv 470PF one u linked on ebay, would you only need one capacitor then??

i see on the capacitor it says 6kv

hi again

i like your program

thanks for the link

another question:

while dissasebling some of the old arcades, pc etc i have layign around i found some orange capacitors

they say

CM C
.001k
   3kv

they are about the size of a half dime i guess, curious if someone could decode that for me as so i can learn as i go here. the 3kv interested me. i have 15 of them
