Do you use any special type of resistor for the high voltage which is
between 3 and 5 thousand volts? Or jsut ohm's law?

Hi Dan,
you can put a resistor of the proper value across teh capacitor that will bleed
out the charge when its off, yet still allow it to operate. I have one of those
across the cap of my magnetic pulser that chrages to 350 volts and in a few
minutes it will drain the cap to zero after I turnt it off. The restior stays
on there at all times.
Take care,

I've been looking at the writeup Duncan Crow made about the converted
microwave CS maker.
He said that he could regularly get 35 to 42 ppm CS using his converted
microwave CS maker. One quart in 1.5 minutes. 3,600 volts, pulsed DC,
with electrodes at 2.25 inches apart, and anode surface area of 15.25".
I estimate that would be at about 100ma with current density of 15ma
per square inch. (All approximations.)
This seems to violate a lot of rules that we go by for low voltage DC CS
making.
Also, from a safety perspective, when making the conversion, we know
that we have to discharge the capacitor in order to prevent a
potentially hazardous electric shock. After the conversion, can one
still get a shock from the electrodes or does the CS cell bleed it off
fast enough to deplete the charge? I bet that if you turn the unit on
without the water cell in place that you will charge the capacitor and
there will be a danger of shock from the electrodes (in this case the
negative electrode, since the high voltage is negative).
(You can search on Google for Microwave, how does it work? for a
description and generalized schematics.)

PS Don't try this at home, unless you know what you're doing, it could
be dangerous...
