Marc,

Hmmmm... you sure do get some interesting things! NOW you've got what
appears to be an Induction Heating capacitor. These caps are used in
industrial induction heating or melting appications. There's a pretty
good chance that yours may have fittings for water cooling and, if
you're lucky, it may also use a polypropylene and low loss dielectric
fluid system. 

Plugging in the numbers for your capacitor, it looks like you've got a
101.86 uF 2500 VAC cap. Nice size for exploding wires, but Its a little
big for a Tesla Coil use...
