Thanks for the warning about the cap. I made sure I discharged that before going into the electronics too far.
Yes, I heard that the microwave electronics produced pulsed DC. At this stage I am looking for evidence of the system being able to produce small enough particles before I have a large electrode fabricated just for the purpose. Just seems I couldn't make a big enough electrode practically to be able to make small particles but I don't really know. Boy sure would be good to make a fine quality CS this way since it is so fast at a quart under 2 minutes . However safety and quality are the main requirements for any system and product. Thanks for the tips and any other comments on this or other systems are welcomed.
