Well. I had this capacitor in parallel to an induction heater. It was warm. but was fine. 5 days later after storage, I was looking for this capacitor for my SSTC to make 1.26uF. And look what I found...
I dont think I will trust this to parallel to make 1.26uF anymore...My meter wont read a storage, yet its not a short.

Well, I havnt seen anyone do it this way. I bought some 2-part Glaze (Harden/Resin) for $22 at Lowes. FamoWood glaze or something. Anyways, I figured this stuff dries hard, and sounds like your knocking on a block of glass. Unlike polyurethane vanish, it feels glass hard. I have 1cm above and blow the coil. This is for a ring launcher, so I have hopes it will constrain itself, and not rip apart. I looked up the data, and its rated 400PSI tensile strength, 800PSI compression. Some JB weld was put on the bottom of the coil for fun, that's rated 3200PSI tensile strength. We will just have to see how it handles when there's no snow! Looks cool too, Crystal clear

Heh, bit too late for that. Resin only takes 4 hours to get hard so...That stuff is all done. Just have to go with what I have made. Worth a shot to see how it lasts though, was for experimenting with anyways!

I was looking at pics in my photobucket, and in retrospect, i guess my halfbridge sstc was not that inefficient. I could run CW pretty much forever. For scale that ball was 4.5 inches, and the pan was around 12 inches.
Edit: that is awefully wrong I guess the pan was the 8 inch one.
