well ive got the obvious resistors so im good there but when it says something like .47 MFd, are they talking mega or micro ferrads? i saw a picture of them (this is for a project) and these are some of the biggest capacitors ive ever seen in large quantity

also, where can i find some of these things? i went to allied electronics and found some of the more obvious ones but say the avalanche diodes are hard to come by

Hi.
MFd is a very poor brained way to write the proper µF from a careless person.
As some typing has no access to the micro symbol µ, an acceptable form is the similar u instead.

So in your case, those components are microFarads.

100M is a very high value resistor, I'd question that.

If you post a schematic and I'll be able to tell your if it's right or not.

 

[Mishael]

you have seen it before hero. im having problems understanding it myself

 

[Hero999]

Why start two threads about the same question?

R4 and R5 are high voltage current limiting resistors to keep the current to a safe level.

Sorry but I think you should attempt a simpler and less dangerous circuit, try a 555 LED flasher or something simple like that.

 

[Mishael]

this is about the parts, not about the circuit diagram. each question is asked in the appropriate thread. what is dangerous about it? it is high voltage i know but if you are careful, it should be fine, right?
