Hi Adam,

It's going to charge in the low millisecond range and discharge in the 
low microsecond range (in a Bang!). No doubt about that. Electrically, 
he's attempting to separate the charge circuit from the discharge 
circuit. But I don't completely understand the mechanics of how this can 
be done. I'm just sitting back to see what comes of this experiment.

Take care,
Bart
