The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.

Are you sure they're not 4.7nF? They look a little small for 4.7µF... I used caps like that in my table top SGTC, and they worked fine. Maybe not ideal, but they will work. Or you could make a large MMC (multi-mini capacitor) bank out of them for a slightly larger coil. A Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier? Excuse me for linking to Sam Barros.

First of May, we also have that
The stun pen would be cool but I don't suppose you have the required high voltage diodes? Why don't you build a little Marx generator like It gives impressive results and all you need to add is a bunch of resistors. It has more advantages thatn taht in fact: It does not contain diodes with can fail, and you can have as many stages as you want and still get good performance.

90 1n4007 1kv (not the uf vercie) diode's over here en 5 16khz hv diode's. En some ccfl inverters, but the operate at 60khz with 12 volt input the give 1200v ac out.

You could build a very handsome Marx with them. You could string them in series groups of three to get effective capacitance of about 1n5F at 12kV wkg per string, and use dome knuts as spark gaps, great fun.
