     I think 45 hours is a long time to run a coil.  I would be shocked if 
     many people's coils ever saw that much total run time.

Howdy folks,
Just thought I'd run these numbers past the participants of my recent bulk buy.
     
(btw these are based on Terry's equations)
     
     
Vdc       #caps           Life          Capacity 
(kV)     (per string)     (hours)          (nF)
20              10              10            10.2 
22               11              45              8.65
24               12             167             7.36 
26               13             555             6.27 
28               14            1687            5.34 
30       *       15     *      4748     *     4.53 
32               16           12500           3.82 
34               17           31034           3.2
     
The row marked with the star is the configuration I'll be using. I'm hoping to 
use two modified 12/60s (now 12/90s) for the power supply. That way, I can use 
ten strings of 15 for LTR configuration. 
Please double check these equations before soldering up the final product. 
And Please don't use less than 12 per string!!! That's just a waste of time
and 
money.
Safe coiling...
