Actually starting with 50kJ 30 kv and going up from there in 15 kV, 25 kJ
increments as I can afford it (probably giving up once I reach 450 kV -at- 750
kJ ($24k for the caps alone) if not before then since I'm not Bill Gates and
it will be increasingly harder to insulate/shield the explosion). How do
they shield the 60MJ version posted earlier?
