I'm currently on the hunt for a nice water cooled 2mf cap, but not
having much luck. Most of the ones I'm finding or for high voltage,
not high ripple current.


Polypropylene capacitors like Sprague 715P "orange drop" handle high
ripple current better than most. From their literatu

"Type 715P capacitors are ideal for applications where high AC current

Use the higher voltage caps. Those rated for higher voltage also
can handle higher current due to the larger physical size and ability
to dissipate heat. I've run these at several amps each at about 35
KHz. They're not expensive.
