Hi everybody

 I know Mylar is not the best dielectric for tesla use but I have a
source of .016uF 1200VDC  pulse cap at  $0.10 Canadian ($0.07 us) I
already built a MMC with these cap 8 string of 25 cap for .00512uF
30,000VDC  $7.00 us  I use it with a OBIT (10,000V rms 23 mA) work great
near 15" spark .But I have fear to run these more than 10 minutes.

Now my question  is any one of you know how much you need to over design
the MMC to compensate the loose for making this MMC reliable. What %
more I need to over design in regard of polypropylene?
