hi there,
             i go along with the four mot idea. but if you dont have them or
just want to try it then here is my input.
if you build a tripler the capacitance will limit the current anyway by
capacitive reactance.
in my doubler with two mots the rough output with 1uf total on each leg gave
me approx 2kva output (very approx)
go to richie burnetts site then click links then scroll down and look for
tesla coil formulas this has the formaula for capacitive reactance
cheers
