Geri, I am not trying to argue with you, geometry was never my strong point but... I count 11 rows of 8 and 11 rows of 7, thats 88+77=165? Sorry, i really like it no matter how many caps it has. I could be counting in standard and you are counting in metric!

I think Geri is Austrian...

But anyways, Kondensator means Capacitor in German.

Can't wait to see pics of the pcb when you get it made.

The time has come ....

These are the first pictures of the building.

looks good so far. I hope you are going to build some kind of fusing into it like the alumipros always lacked. Always seemed strange to me that they didn't have them.

I would think a fire extinguisher should be on hand.....
I could be wrong but this has potential for a flame or 2 no?
Don't mean to be a killjoy at all that is just the first thing that came to mind. great creativity tho. Is this similar to a tantrum powercore?

if he puts on in backwards but otherwise caps are not normally explosive.

keep up the good work geri!!

So total capacitance is only around ~1.65F then? Of course ESR will be ridiculously low... but man that is a big farad!

where the hell are you working on this- NASA!?!?
gee-sus- enough diagnostic gear there... wholly shizham

is it just me or is anyone else scared to see this blow up if there was a small problem or start on fire Like Thunderdome octane le??

looks very very cool mind you great work

Post by **ttocs** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 12:12 pm

no, no fear of it blowing up if everyrthing is done correctly.

I´m pretty sure that´s the shop from the former employee of the car audio dealer named koubaton that used to do the repairs on Phoenix Gold Gear for a ggod decade

Great project Geri! Seems like u bring that SOFAS- sink to good use

It is awesome! And I too am envious of that lab!
