Sweet dreams streamers rule....You will do nothing with 4007 in this service Listen to Steve Conner and get some MOTs. They are easier to handle than a pole pig.

well like i said i would likely use microwave diodes, of which i have quite a few extracted ones, and also no body is going to discourage me from MOTs instead of a pig, so i just would like the help i can get with this if i need it also do i set up with a center ground, can i just ground between where i series the secondaries and tie it in to the ground lug? or will this cause the circuit breaker to trip, or would it be best left floating? also i will have this running at about 2 or 3 kva to start then when i am ready i will probably move up in my power levels, also i would like to make a giant jacobs ladder, so if i ballast this to 5kva, will the arcs go to about 3 feet right?

Do you know what you are dealing with?! In my avatar, I am dumping 75 amps from a cap, that flash is the first part what you don't see is the beads of molted metal fly out of that flash, 75 amps...and you want 3500 or higher... kid that is hell you are playing with. One mistake, and you are dead and chard before your body hits the ground.
I think this thread should be locked, buts that just me...

So you've been careless enough to electrocute yourself before? outstanding. Also, judging by your .sig , this would be akin to giving a shotgun to a kid. Oh, errrr, wait. I agree with the lockage of this thread.

no i have not been electrocuted a flash burn is where your eyes are in effect sunburned and my signature is like because high voltage doesnt necissarily kill people the amperage does, and i see no reason in the locking this thread either
