It looks great to me. My only question is where will you get the 20 
henry inductor that can withstand 10kV? I used a Multi-Mini-Choke 
made of several commercial chokes in series for mine, but I'm not 
sure how reliable it'll be in the long run.

Also, wouldn't it behave the same if you put the inductor in the 
primary side of the MOTs, reducing its inductance by the square of 
the turns ratio? (40:1 since it's a 4 MOT stack) The inductor current 
is discontinuous, so it shouldn't make much difference whether it's 
rectified or not. That might make it easier to find an inductor, but 
then again, having the inductor on the HV side protects the MOT stack 
from spark gap transients so it might be better.
