Malcolm is exactly correct, the big storage cap
is part of the resonant circuit. It is indeed a single
giant cap, probably weighs more than me. The
centre terminal is tapped for a 1 inch connection!

I phoned Aerovox, and they said it came out of the
Stanford linear accelerator.

I am now starting to think this same scheme can
be used with an AC drive. It would need a synchronous
gap, but for the trouble of building two caps, one might
quadruple the power to the primary.

I still need to think about that for a while.
