I just made a calculation about the cap - do these specs sound reasonable 
to you? :
 
..using about 30m^2 of .2 mm (.0078") thick ld-PE sheet I'll make 4 caps
that will be connected in series, each 69nF. These individual caps will
have 3 layers of ld-PE between each cap-plate (Al-foil, 35um, 30cm*20cm)
and using 40 plates I should get about 69 nF.. Alltogether I should get
17nF at 43kVDC using the voltage-rating of 18kV/mm and thus about 14kVAC
for tesla-use..
 
The unit size will be about 36cm(h)*30cm*12cm minimum + oil-immersion tank..
                            

Thanks for your advice in advance!

Yours,

  Kristian.
