Hello again Dr R,
@ 3KJ per foot I calc 4.7 ft of # 28 with 168KV, 1uf. Is the 1uf the bank
total or one part of it?
Regards,
Jim Mora
Hope to you in Baraboo

Interesting, well, time will tell after we fire it a few times. I
will start with a 10 ft length of #26 AWG and go up from there. I
plan on forming it into a "zig-zag" lightning bolt configuration and
fire it vertically so it resembles a bolt from above.
Should look interesting on film.
