Wild wacky and way out there idea!! Does anyone have any idea if a
suitable length of carbon core vehicle ignition cable would make a
satisfactory bleeder resistor? Iggy would be dumping 100 joules into
it, its got distributed resistance and sufficient insulation so the main
worry is can a maneagable length take the peak power?
AARGH 1/2*CV^2 so 50 joules for 10KV (up too late!). Hmm, carbon core
cable is even more appealing to me.
