Subject: Resonant rise in my obit.
I knew that matching the cap to the transformer caused a resonant rise,
but I was unaware of exactly how great it could be. I did a little test:
I hooked up my variac, with voltmeter, to my Webster OBIT. I then
connected the obit's HV outputs directly across 5 0.030" gaps in my
cylinder static unit. The gaps arc'd at a variac setting of exactly 121
VAC. Next, I connected my 0.006uF rolled cap across the gap, and it now
begins to fire at 21 VAC input. Almost a factor of 6 in voltage rise!
That is pretty extreme.
