60kva / 800BPS = 75J.  Given E=0.5CV^2, the 0.161u cap will 
run at 30,500V.  Your secondary structures, given their present 
design size, will be at the center of a brilliant firestorm.

You're bound to get some sort of fireballs out of this setup,
even if they're balls of molten plastic.

BTW, why is 800BPS required to generate fireballs?
