Smaller is Nice
Here is a picture of my stock Maxwell cap and the new CJE cap. The new cap is much smaller and goes up to 20kV rather than 35kV.
Since the capacitance is higher .05 vs .03uf, the light flash should be slower, but if Niles photos are any guide, it will stop a bullet in flight very well.
On a side note, I haven't posted for a while for strange reasons. A prescription drug that I had been taking for a few years suddenly went strange on me. It took me some time to figure out what was going on and even longer to get over the withdrawals from the stupid stuff.
I am kind of perturbed by the whole thing for several reasons. First, that the doctor would give me this drug in such a casual manner, without any cautions about side effects.
The second is a point of curiosity. The medical profession is deeply suspicious about drugs like heroin and cocaine, which start by giving pleasant experiences and then turn bad and have strong withdrawal symptoms.
Fair enough.
But then they prescribe drugs which give no pleasure and turn out to have very strong withdrawal symptoms.
Sounds like the old Puritan ethic again to me.
Anyhow, in closing, I intend to search very carefully on the internet for side effects as well as withdrawal symptoms for any nostrum that my local blood-letter prescribes for me in the future.
Cheers.
