Hello Ed:
        With regard to resonant charging, you said:

        Yes, the maximum is Q times the input voltage.  However, I assume
you want to dump that energy periodically.  For maximum charging efficiency,
one should dump the energy near the end of each half cycle (synchronize the
firing to the charging).
