Is a rating of 20KV good enough for my setup? If I put the caps in series then the rating would go up to 40KV, but then the capacity would only be 500pf per set of caps. Would 500pf still give me the same scalar effects?
BTW, excellent demo videos. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I can't wait to see some scalar effects with my setup!

I have only played with this hairpin. I have only used these caps, but you should be fine with your setup. Just remember to be careful. With any setup you need to test and see if the device is safe to touch. You are overrating your caps like I did so that is a good start. I have used Aluminum instead of copper and had great results. Aluminum is much cheaper so I can recommend that. I just left mine in Copper as it is a tribute to tesla...and wanted to keep it as close as tesla had. Build safe,
