Yep Terry, all you MMC fans read this:

Well i toke my PT, 4 inch secondary, no toroid, secondary was not grounded
and there was no ballast on the pt and no tunning. After letting the power
in :

90-100 Cm arcs hitting the walls, huge racing sparks on the secondary,
primary to primary flashovers, secondary to pimary flashowers... Secondary
is now molten ball of plastic and copper :-).

These maxweell sure give a good performance...

I doubt 5 small capacitors in series would hold up on this, maybe 20-30
should could.
