Default Safely testing 22 kV capacitors

If you want to test them closer to their actual rating, you could charge two
caps to 9kv each, and then hook them in series across a single, giving you
18 kv. Doing it all with broomsticks, of course. For discharge, you could
point a steam hose in their vicinity. Again, with a long stick, and from a
good distance.

I would start by inventing remotely operated aligator clips.
