>>somebody on this list asked if it would be
>>practical to make a high voltage capacitor by wiring a bunch of photo
>>flash (330 V 160 uF) caps in series. 

Another problem is that these capacitor are designed to be charged, discharged
every
minute or so, on a coil they will be charged / discharged 200,000 times a second
-
they will probably heat. 
And of course most coil designs will need a value of about .022uf - thats 8000
160uf caps in series - the good news is that it will handle 2,640,000 volts :)

>>BANG!!!
its sounds though that they will be ideal for exploding wires and
electromagnetic
guns - anyone tried them for that?
