it sounds like those are electrolytic capacitors - do they have a "+" and a
"-" terminal?? if yes, they won't be suitable.  Even if you put 100 of them
in series, you will still have 1.4 microfarads(at 45,000 volts), and that is
way too much capacitance.  Also, electrolytics usually have a larger series
resistance than you want.  You could make a non-polar capacitor by putting
200 in series, alternating orientation (+ to +, - to -, etc) but you would
still have a serious series resistance problem (and a huge ball of
capacitors to deal with).  You want non-electrolytic capacitors.
