Im not sure if this counts as a double pole unit or a 4 pole unit.
About the MOTs (Microwave Oven Transofrmers) That's a great idea! Didn't think about that. Currently I only have one thats good (others got burned up in a long distance energy test). I will have to talk to the neighbors and see if they have any old ones I can scrounge parts from.
As far as I can tell the capacitance is .175 nf right now, but can be adjusted by spacing the glass reels farther or closer together. Perhaps I need to rebuild this with closer tolerances and much larger plate sizes.
Thanks for the mental stimulation on this.

P.S. High voltage D.C. was fed from an insulation tester which shows voltage and microampers flowing.
