Richard,

Is this what you mean by a floating tank circuit? Could this also be 
refered to as a "balanced" tank circuit because two capacitors are 
involved? Or would this be floating and balanced?...

We have yet to find a pole xformer for our coil 
(www.ddlabs-dot-com/tesla.html) and wonder if we should setup our coil as 
above given our capacitor situation (6 .25uf-at-20kVDC units)?
