Hi ZPDM --
I like your video and the information I am seeing on the results. I see that the capacitor marked as 100 ufd @ 400 volts being used at far less voltages then the rating is one of the factors for the great results. When using a capacitor for keeping a smaller voltage longer you need to use a far greater rated capacitor. Now the 1 ufd Orange Drop type capacitor I believe is a capacitor rated at 400 volts to 600 volts but I may be wrong on my guess. You can let me know what that voltage rating is. The other variable which is unknown is the coil value. Could you tell me the wire gauge and measure the resistance of that coil? If you have a LCR meter I would like to know the exact measurement at 10KHz frequency or more depending on your LCR meter if you own one. It would be nice to see the results with this type of capacitor below to see if it holds a charge longer then a Orange Drop type Capacitor.
Polypropylene capacitor applications
PP capacitors find uses in many areas of electronics. Although only available in leaded versions they are still widely used.
They are seen in many applications:

Polypropylene capacitor applications
PP capacitors find uses in many areas of electronics. Although only available in leaded versions they are still widely used.
They are seen in many applications:
- High power / High AC voltage circuit applications.
- Circuits with high peak current levels.
- High frequency resonant circuits.
- Precision timing circuits.
- Lighting ballast systems.
- Switching power supplies.
- Sample and hold circuits.
- Premium audio applications where many enthusiast believe they offer better performance and hence a better sound quality.
- High frequency pulse discharge circuits
- Energy storage circuits - their high resistance enables low levels of self discharge.
