Hey Steve,
Yes, it sounds as if you need the "real deal" aka maxwell can of death. I only have my one 5kJ pulse cap, and its gonna stay mine for awhile still . Indeed, these little caps i have simply wont be enough energy to do the fun stuff you are after.
Also, you arent too far away from Naperville, where i will be running the big twin tesla coils this coming weekend for Duckon:
Our show is out in the parking lot, starting whenever it gets dark. You can probably avoid paying any of the convention people any money and just show up in the hotel parking lot. I should mention, the coils only run if its not raining! So check the weather if you think you might come out for this, we are scheduled to do a show both friday and saturday.
Anywho, it looks like Shaun and TCG get first dibs on the 80uF caps, unless ArcLight still wants them for some reason.

Would you mind holding 20-30 of those MOCs for me Steve? I'm about to move and would like to have something to work with, but I'm not sure whether I'll be in Canada or Norway. I already have a bank of 20 or so here, but I can't really fit it in a suitcase and bring it with me if I end up moving. I'll know where I'll be in a few months.

Steve,
I just got off of the phone with my activities coordinator and she informs me that I have a wedding to attend this Saturday for a couple that I have never met. I'm so looking forward to the Chicken dance and Dollar dance that I've threatened to open a major artery with the hope of a traffic jam and/or a slow ambulance crew. However, she reminded me that I promised her that I owed her one in repayment for her attendance at my little sister's 25th anniversary party last month (relationships are clearly about give and take.)
Given that I'm unable to convince her that I didn't really promise, and the fact that I have no doubt that she would let me bleed-out and then repeatedly kick the corpse just to be sure before letting the emergency responders in, I guess that this Saturday isn't a good day for me.
However, Friday just may be doable. I see that your show is scheduled to start at 9PM in the parking lot. If there is any way possible to attend, I will be there. I would truly enjoy meeting you and seeing one of your machines operate.
As yet another side-note, I can't tell you how much that I love the name 'Can of Death.' What kid won't want to own at least one toy with such a name? My ladyfriend (the one that I probably should'nt have taught how to shoot a large-bore handgun) can be be bought off with expensive jewelry in most situations. I'm thinking that I will probably just keep this one to myself.
