Well, there's where your wrong steve, the capacitor isn't cooled at
all. It the chamber where the 1.4Mv of electricity is sent from it
output point to the metal plates which collects the electrity, it is
sent to the hybrid capacitor. The liquid oxygen flows through pipes
like in your car between the plate chamber and the outer skin. Liquid
Oxygen is used to keep the plate chamber cool because liquid oxygen is
near absolute zero.


Oy! Perhaps there are better choices than LOX?
