I came across one that puts out 4000 volts and as far as I can figure 10 to 20 ma. , possibly 50watts .With the output shorted it pulls about .85amps @120v.  Would it even be feasible . If so could someone point me in the right direction as far as what size wire on say a 2" dia 10 to 12" secondary and a ball park on the cap, maybe around 3 to 4 nf ?
