I was reading the thread for the FF powering a 747 and I have to ask a question.
What if you had multiple FF units chained together?
The first unit is fired off a capacitor.
The second unit is fired off of the pulse of power from the first unit.
The third unit is fired off of the pulse of power from the second unit. etc…
You only need to tie the capacitor bank into the first and the last FF units in the chain.
With some creative wiring, you might be able to re-route around any FF unit that burns out…
It would sure save on weight and cost of capacitor banks.
