Hey CaptDon.
Thanks for your enthuasiatic comment. I could totally see this being the case
The real story is a bit different, but perhaps just as dumb?
I don't know. I'm just trying to make this thing work with my limited knowledge.
Basically the project is more like a smart electric fence. Here shocks of serveral kVs (but with low current) are given off to deter for instance cattle. In this case I want to see if I can perform measurements on a small sort of electric fence and see if something is off or perhaps even measure the sort of wildlife touching the fence.
There might or might not be a load at the end. And I don't think there will be kWs of power. Just short HV bursts.
