For your first coil project try either a 12 kV 30 ma or 12 kV 60 ma neon
(NST). These are reasonably easy to find from large city neon sign shops
and if you are a young person who is "working on a school science project"
sometimes they might even consider donating one to a worthy cause. The cap
match would be a .005 MFD value for the 30 ma xmfr or a .01 MFD value for
the 60 ma xmfr (NST). This should get you off to a good start and good
luck.
