i didn't know that the capicatince dropped when capicators were wired in 
series.  i assumed that  3 capacitors in series would have the same 
capacatance as 1  but with 3 times the voltage.  i was jsut guessing from my 
limited electronics tinkering.  lets go with the cap value of .040mfd.   i 
got a good topload made to.   i managed to get the wire frame from a big 
electric fan shroud.  my crude spark gap is made from 2 pieces of copper 
tubing hammered flat   they are bolted to a piece of wood and bent so that 
they are easily ajustable.  no variac   all i have is 2 mot's in series and 
computer power bar for a switch.  i know what you mean about the mot's being 
deadly.  i already got hit once by them and got burned pretty damn good.  i 
don't mess with them any more.  i am about 15 feet away from the whole 
operation when there is any power applied.  well  thanks a bunch for the help
