Sorry.
Why? We can get 460 and 520? OH! Ferrad is the word I'm looking for. Damn spell check.

Curing Alzheimer's disease before you have learned to spell it would be an amazing feat.

do you mean micro farad ?

But I just looked at a 460 about an inch across. . . Also a 520.

It is very import to get the exact spec. 460 what ?
450 microfarads is much more likely. 460 pico farads makes even more sense.

Not picco. We used a radio hobbiests calculator to figure out the size necessary for the frequency.

It's got to be 500 microFarad, or even more likely, picoFarad. Rise and fall time for any sort of lamp you think would be used consume far more than the 25 nanosecond pulses you'll be attempting to create. I'll be astonished if anything in the human nervous system works at 40 MHz. Where is the source of your information? Can you provide a link?
