That brought a tear to my eye, Finn  :)

Unfortunately, I entered your propsal into JavaTC, which told me that we 
may reach 3.5MV with a .5MVA input (assuming 50kv firing voltage, not 50kVRMS).

The ALF specifications on http://www.lod-dot-org list the expected topload 
voltage as 5.1MV with a 5.7MVA input.

It would be interesting to see if 5MV would be possible with a disruptive 
TC that could be operated in, say, a football stadium - sized area.

Cheers!
