where to get dielectric grease
 

topic says it all realy :)

I remember they sold this on a webshop in belgium or the netherlands but I can't find it anymore and even still, this was in very small amounts and probably way to expensive.

I asked in the local electronics store if they could get hold of it but they didn't even knew what it was...

Are there alternatives that are perhaps easier to find?



Also, is your every day silicone (like they use to seal of windows) conductive or not?

not it isn't. you can use silicone but dielectric grease is preferrable

automotive store; the high energy coil uses dielectric grease.

"automotive store" ? "high energy coil" ?

What's that like a shop where they sell mills, like for CNC or manual "frezen & draaien" dno these words in english :s

milling and tapping

Fedora dictionary to the rescue:

"WordNet (r) 2.0"
automotive
adj 1: of or relating to motor vehicles; "automotive supplies"
2: containing within itself the means of propulsion or
movement; "a self-propelled vehicle" syn: self-propelled,
self-propelling

Car parts store; car dealer repair shop; places where car parts are sold.;-)

The grease is normally or commonly used around high voltage circuit (50,000 volt and over) where lubrication is needed.

The non-dielectric property prevents arcing. It is very inexpensive.

In the case where it is used in between magnatic coil pickup and metal surface; it also acts as heat transfer compound; like thermal grease for computer.

argh, why didn't I think of using a dictionary :grum:

50 000 V in a car :ww:

well, they certainly never used it in the moto shop where I used to work :)

I'll ask around in the local garages, thx for the advice :)

Oh yes, the voltage going to the spark plugs.;-)

In fact, a car's alternator is toned down... You can get more then one and a half million volts out of this **** :D
