Hi Roger, 

I have a couple videos on my YouTube channel.

I am running a 10kva 14.7kv pole pig powered coil with a 12in diameter, 57" winding length secondary, and a 60in major/ 12in minor diameter toroid. The single capacitor cracked in half and splashed oil for a good 8 feet. Evidently, my configuration was poorly designed to handle the ~ 15 kv input. Apparently, people have had this issue before and I was previously warned by David Rieben.

I'm a student and my budget is around $100-200 and I will of course pay for shipping and handling; I live near Pasadena, California. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions regarding possible capacitor choices; they will be greatly appreciated.
