Dear Fellow Metalworkers,

Can somebody in this fine audience please tell me how to
build a DIY spark erosion machine ?

Your help is much welcome

Both Home Shop Machinist and Strictly I.C. magazines had
construction series within the last year or so.

I came across a box full of about 100 400V 40mF capacitors. With charging
and discharging circuitry. They were wired to produce 1000V. Sent chills
up my spine. I guess this is ideal for your EDM project. I don't know much
about EDM, so excuse me if I screwed up. I personally would stay away from
DIY EDM's and plasma cutters. I hate fooling around with hight voltages at
high current. Think about it: exploding transistors and caracitors, fires,
emergancy rooms. Well, enough of this. Just wanted to state my opinion.
The capacitors are at RA Enterprises in San Jose, California.

Who tasted 50KV at 65mA and doesn't want to do it again.

Hello Alex:

Thank you for your kind comments, I have frequently worked in
my past live as a practicing artist with HV equipment, creating 
large Neon sculptures, and a "Plasma Palace"  for a Theatre in
Berlin. I am now involved with a MW project, and have learned
to master the hidden dangers of this technology also.

Your comments are well founded, but some of us have experience
with working at High Voltage generators.

If possible, I would aquire your HT caps and circuits for my project,
please come forwards with a price idea.
