Oh i am sorry! Here is the doubler that i used...http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/hv/
hv_en.php It works well.. It is simple yet effective so it is probably the best way to go. But remember to use a mot or two as a choke after the high voltage out(The high voltage out is the one not connected to the ground on the transformer,right after the capacitor and before the diode)or you will get a direct short of the doubler circuit and it WILL NOT work correctly. I hope this has helped.
P.S. If you ever want higher voltage and more power hook two mot's in anti-parallel or the primary side and series on the high voltage side. Use the same schematic but use two microwave capacitors in series and hook two of those in parallel so the capacitor is 4kv at 1 uf.
And i do not know whether it was 50 or 60 hertz.the schematic is the same either way...for a really powerful coil watch this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Well for a mo doubler i used one mot as a choke. The first video i showed you suggests a mot has around 15h to 20h.i know that you should use two if you use a tripler and one if you use doubler. Use just one for the doubler because it produces more current,whereas a tripler produces less(of course). Also you need two mot's for the tripler because it produces higher voltage therefor requiring two mot's to safely handle the voltages since a mot can handle only 4kv (estimate) without the insulation soon giving up and arcing over. So either get a high voltage Inductor of around 20h or use 1 mot.

It is to prevent the mot and doubler from having a direct short when the spark gap ignites. And without it i couldn't even get a good arc from the doubler.

MOT doubler?
