I'm trying to make a tesla coil, and it seems like the capacitor in the coil drops all of it's charge in a fraction of a second. I've tried researching how to do that, but I can only find how to discharge it slowly and safely. Could somebody please help out?

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
