 Humm... if you are drawing 25Kw from a 9.8v DC source then you're
 going to have to draw 2550 AMPS from your initilal power source!  Now
 that's a heafty supply! Seriously I don't think you're actually going
 to be able to build such a beast (and if you do, you'll probabily need
 a truck to move it, unless that 25Kw is a few orders of magnitude
 off..). I'de advise against trying because high voltage can be deadly, 
 especially when you don't have experience working with Hv, read some
 of the HV Cap. articles to get an idea.
