We just had a recent thread about Neon Transformers and a discussion for midpoint and virtual returns and it was never really explained into detail of why this wiring method is best for some applications where it's possible. So I thought I would post a video we did back in 2009 where I spent a few hours with Telford Dorr where he explains detail "capacitance" in neon signs, why we get it, and what it does in a sign. It's one thing to read about capacitance, it's another to hear it and see it in an electric sign.
This was originally done in our tutorial section and was a quicktime video, but I spent some time last night converting it over to our youtube.com channel
