omg, an accident just waiting to happen

@Park34

the 8 US$ part would be right, 1 uF 2000 Volts,
if these are no electrolytic caps.

Otherwise get some smaller foil or ceramic caps and put them in parallel
to get the desired capacitance,
for instance:

10 x 0.1 uF ( 2000 Volts) in parallel = 1 uF at 2000 Volts

If you put caps in series the capacitance will
drop but the voltage rating will raise like:

10 x 0.1 (2000 Volts) in series = 0.01 uF at 20.000 Volts

But be very cautious with these !
When charged up to more than 50 Volts and you touch them accidently
they could kill you.

Charged up bigger capacitors with high voltage DC on them
are very deadly, so never work without rubber gloves !

Do not go for higher capacitance use 1000pf or less for better results.

Higher the capacitance lower the LC oscillations and more number of turns required to get it work,

Lower the capacitance higher the LC oscillation frequency, so less number of turns.......

Thanks for the advice guys, and the words of wisdom. I am trained in the honda hybrids and understand most of high voltage safety issues. Just the different capacitors confused me. I cut up a sheep of plywood last night to put everythign on and try to build a nice setup for testing. So i take it everyone is in agreement that the 8 dollar ones are the way to go. Im not buying from ebay, i have a electronic recycler in town and well they have thousands of capacitors. otherwise i have allot of old parts laying around and will list what i have. i have a motor ready from a lawnmower for testing and also have a old spark plug tester that lets me pressurize the plug out ofthe engine. will post pics and my wiring before doing any testing to make shure i have it right. and from what i understand the higher the farad level the more resistance right??

Well,
in my circuit I wrote 1 nF= 1000 pF.

That is right.

I thought you needed the 1 uF for some other application...
