Yes, I include an easily referenced parts list.
Nothing is exotic except for the valve, this I
will provide at no cost to a program member.

The components that are hard to find are the high-voltage diodes
and capacitor. I provide where these can be obtained.

No, the prototype is a beta-version. It is low-power to get to know the
concept of power generation. Going head first into a high power
prototype
would be a deadly mistake.

You are welcome to join the program. The manual that I will be supplying
is detailed and clear. If you decide after you read it that it is not
for
you then you do not have to continue with the program. All I ask is that
you do not flame the program.
