Hello,

A friend and I are looking to build a large 10" coil.  We have acsess to 
MOTs and synchrnous motors etc,  and sonotubes, wire everything to build 
the coil except the capacitors.

Now we were thinking of making a four MOT stack to give around 10,000 
volts.  The problem is, I have no clue what kind of capacitance will be 
needed for this coil, or what the LTR for a MOT stack would be.

I was thinking of an MMC but with the amount of capacitors im gussing we 
will need, it will cost 600$ (ha ha)  !!!

What would be the best bet for capacitors for this coil?

Thank you,

Regards - Jim Mitchell
