Regarding flash tube:
Yes well. Same is my observation.
Sorry, perhaps I did'nt express clear enough. I refered to the xenon auto bulb as rugged OV protection for monster caps HV (i.e. 3µF 20KV). Such a charge would easily explode a normal flash tube.
Regarding HV cap:
- Polyester owns a better dielctric constant than other plastic materials (water would be the best !) and better HV resistance.
- I like the idea to glue the edges of the plates inside the doc pouches in order to prevent arcover through air there. It proved to be very reliable. So we can omit oil.
- The only weak part are the edges and wrinkles because of the increased electrical field at those places.
- Apart that we can easily design any voltage by adding additional pouches.
- I calcualted 10 Euro max. for 2µF 20 KV, added bunch of hours for manufactoring added.
