First off, I am a new member here. Just wanted to say hello!
I am currently building a Coil Gun. I will be using two 450V 1800uF Capacitors (approx. 364 joules) My original plans called for ten 120uF 330V capacitors from disposable cameras-i wanted something a bit more powerful so I decided to go with the two big capacitors. Originally, I was to use the charging circuit from one disposable camera, however, i am curious as to if the charging circuit could handle the now beefier capacitor bank
Also, a 10A rated switch was to be used in place of the clicker plate on the charge. circuit, will a 10A still be ok for the increased power? (also was using 10A switch for firing)
Thanks!
