without electrolytic capacitors, a glass ceramic capacitor array, of 129uF @ 50 kV, would fit onto a spherical shell, 5m average radius and 1.5 m thick (assuming 100 plates, spaced 15mm apart). The reactor would be, easily, as big as a house.
… but this would solve the caps lifespan issue, right? 🙂
