Is there a reason that no one is suggesting to use several more reasonable and
available caps in parallel like seven 14+ uf 20kv caps. I know using the older
caps involves more weight (7x100 lbs) and space but the cost of a new 100uf
18kv cap would kill you almost at fast as "personally" discharging it.
