As others have said the MOT cap doesn't have enough stored energy for pulse
discharge work. Plus it takes quite a bit of thought and materials to do it
safely. Take a look at what I did...

> Can a MOT and MOT cap be used for quarter-shrinking/can crushing?
There is not enough power from a microwave cap. you need some really heavy
stuff - take a look at sam barros' (http://www.powerlabs-dot-org) or mike
harrisons (http://www.electricstuff.co.uk) site.

> Could they be used in a small coil?
MOTs work well on little coils - spark gap adjustment is hell though...

>If run on a small coil, could one build a DC coil without tubes, and be
able to use a variable->speed RSG w/ it?
Not sure... Im sure there are some DC experts here. I find a good tesla coil
like project is a flyback driver - see sam's site (again)

All the best,
Jason
