Another CPW, another round of tesla coiling. Last time the primary capacitor caught on fire, so I helped Michael and Austin cobble together a new one out of the Eurofarad caps the coil originally used. I designed some bus bars and MITERS undergrads got them waterjet cut for us.

Successfully ran 2 evenings with 0 capacitor fires and 1 boost converter fire:
The parallel connections look way beefier than the serial...? Any thermal issues with the smaller bus bars?
