Hi Jean-Louis,

Here’s my last build : the starLifter. I think I’ll keep it for Christmas, to get it flying over my Xmas tree ;-)

The specs:
capacitor length: 30cm
capacitor#: 24
total capacitor length: 7.20m
foil height: 38mm
air gap: 37mm
one horiz stick per capacitor
plastic caps on vertical sticks
1/2 kinder egg’s cell for payload
26kV screen - 105kohm/10w R

It took a 14g payload.
