How can i quickly dump a capacitors entire load?

hughjass600 · Oct 18, 2015

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?
