Hello all,

I have a Problem for anyone who is willing to help me.

I have been trying get a coil to work decently for some time now and 
have had little success.  I admit that I know basically nothing in 
terms of the math and formulas and all the stuff that you already know.

 I am following instructions to make a coil that runs off a 6000v 
30ma transformer.  I have 6000v 0.015mdf capacitors that the paper 
says should work. But in the end of all my hard work and little 
understanding i get a spark(not to be confused with an arc or 
anything else that might look cool) out of the top terminal. 
diffidently not what is supposed to happen. (according to the sheet 
that is) What am I doing wrong? transformer issues? capacitor issues? 
coil issues? what? Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
