Homemade Capacitors ~50kV

Please look at the datasheets for components before you ask such questions.
 
Lol sorry

I cant do any maths now, I cant think, but Here is the formula for calculating output voltage:
Vout=Vref(1+R2/R1)+Iadj*R2

I will play around with the maths later.
 
Tesla coil capacitors

I made some HV capacitors for some Tesla Coils I built in High School. I used thick window glass sheets and heavy duty aluminum foil. The foil was alternated between the sheets of glass and went across a 10 KV neon sign transformer and a spark gap. You can also submerge the capacitor in oil I heard but never went that far with it.
