Re: Grant's Coils
I don't know of anything other than liquid freon or mineral oil from the
store.
I have to agree with Richard Hull on the use of mineral oil. The only
reason
that I have heard for the nasty addatives was to increase voltage standoff
and prevent mold growth. I don't know of anyone who has experienced a
problem with either during normal Tesla coil experimentation.

|Barry,
| Thanks,
| I had already read the MSDS on it. I missed the part about the
|tetraphenes tho. I guess that I should have asked my question as: is
|there a better product available?
