[TCML] charging reactors

So, if one needed to build or buy a dozen charging inductors for a 
resonant charged spark gap coil, where would one look..

It's for an application where there's multiple coils being charged from 
a common HV DC bus.

Probably need 5-10 H, and it needs to handle a few hundred mA to amp 
(e.g. 10kW @ 10kV is an amp), and, of course, have a 10-20kV voltage 
rating.

I'm looking for ideas that are either off-the-shelf or made from off the 
shelf things (e.g. no scrounging a half dozen MOTs and then sawing an 
air gap and rewinding it)

(or, some other clever scheme to charge the primary tanks of multiple 
coils)

    That's a mighty big assignment!  Those things will be expensive if 
you can find them at all.................
