The energy for the sparks is finds its final boost solely within the
resonator.  The effects with produce the longest sparks are probably as much
outside this device as in.  That is why it will be tough to nail down more
than a fraction of the causal non-linearities and bring them under some sort
of real world engineered control.  Tougher than many will realize.
