Aaron,

I was under the impression that the average MOT put out 2 kv at about 500 
ma.  So, your stack would be about 8 kv at 500 ma or 4 kva total.  Maybe 
someone who has built one can help here.  Do they need ballast in the 
primary or not?  Maybe without ballast they act like a distribution 
transformer and just keep putting out current until something melts?
