I'm not saying the discharge is 1 second long I'm averaging the current flow to put in a current flow perspective so that we can calculate watts.

Here's a great resource to do the math fast: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/capacitor-energy

Also, that duty cycle it too low, refer to the second video with the well designed machine.

at 42:43 there is a spark, there are 39 frames until the next spark jumps. and the video is posted at 30 frames per second.

That's a frequency of 0.76 Hz. not 0.33. If you keep watching he plays with it quite a bit and I don't actually think that's the fastest time between sparks in the video, it's just the two sparks I chose to count frames between.
