I never attempted this, didn't have the necessity, but to do it you need to dsconnect only one side - in this case the stator ( I think) , that is the side that is not screwed to the chassis. All wires of the sections you want to burn. Better all of them, no matter burned or not.

Then get a few different electrolytics, from 100uF 100V to 1000uF.

Charge to about 50V and discharge through the section. If the arc is not enough, increase the capacitor. Then voltage if still not enough.
I wouldn't go above 50V at 100uF for the start.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
