Actually, I am planning to use a spark gap. This may be hard to do at such a
break rate, but it should not be impossible. I will post a schematic of the
driver if it works. I calculated the value of the primary cap that, but
couldn't find it at the moment. It will be in the neighborhood of 2 - 3 nF -at-
10kV, if I remember correctly. I also figure on having a primary of many
more turns that the usual. It could be as much as 25 turns.
