I have some questions:
1.  For MMC capacitors, these are usually rated at 2000 volts.  is this
ac?  Also, do I double the value of the capacitor due to resonate rise
so for a 12kvac transformer I would need a 24kvac capacitor?  Is geek
group the best deal for these?  If I order from them do I have to wait a
few months?  I have a 1uF 7500vac capacitor.  Can I connect this in a
capacitor bank with mmc's?
2.  I have a 1750 rpm electric motor.  Would this be suitable for a
rotary spark gap?
3. Where do most people get pole pigs?
4. for an RF filter, would it be possible to use iron core inductors
(figuring this will act as a resistor to RF losing it in eddy currents)
and also capacitors to the ground?  or would resonate problems arise?
5. For current limiting, I have an 800VA stepdown transformer.  Can I
connect this in series with a pole pig, and then put a variable resistor
on it's secondary to adjust the current?
6. Can I use 2 variacs in series on a pole pig?  What about parallel?
Should I just use one and range from 120-240?

Thanks for any info, and thanks for helping me get my first coil to
work!
