Well, that depends....

The MMC Style, an array of hundreds of similar caps seriesed for voltage, 
paralelled for capacitance and all wired together to act as one cap can be 
used for Pulse work. We're doing it with the Thumper Project.

The MMC caps that we sell for coiling work cannot be used for that 
application though. They ARE Pulse duty, but FAR too small. IF (I doubt it 
would, but IF) you COULD make it work, it would take THOUSANDS of them to 
crush a quarter.

I'd LOVE to see it tried though, but you'll need a bigger budget than I get 
to play with. It's way too big for us.
