Don't know but it reminds me of the time many years ago, when I tried making a Jawa DT500 magneto fire through a big capacitor.
I made up a test rig that drove the magneto, which generated around 300 volt on the primary side through the capacitor and then into a coil.
All was going great big sparks :twisted: but then one of the wires came off and shorted out on the back of my hand, when I got my breath back I through the lot into the corner of the shed and went and bought a system that worked.
