I am sure this has been pointed out, but that cap is 1500V DC not 15KVDC.
This makes its total energy store much smaller.

Hi all, if no objections, I'll bid on that cap.  I'd hate to snipe a fellow
coiler (and I have had to snipe, I've lost on parts to that, so all's fair
in auctions when you have an empty T1)
 		So let me know if you've already bid on it/really want it.
Thanks!

>Which is one big cap! Suitable for quarter shrinking, disk tossing, water
spark gaps, wire exploding....lots of cool stuff. But aside from the
obvious
danger from high voltage, it will discharge like a bomb if you let it. No
joke

i was really hoping it  would be suitable. oh well. i found it on ebay for
$20

and some nice looking doorknob caps

been looking around trying to get a good deal on some MMCs or just a high
voltage cap. i knew the capacitance was a bit high, but didnt think it
would ever have the time to charge up that high. plus from what ive heard
here my NST can surge way past its marked voltage.
