These ideas look interesting, but I would like to see an schematic of
exactly how they would be implemented. I see a very serious problem:
Using a NST or similar to charge the capacitors will require the
periodical disconnection of the transformer from the capacitors.
A transformer with large series inductance will not like this treatment.
At each interruption a large output voltage will appear. A safety gap
may provide some protection against internal breakdown, but I wonder
how long the transformer will survive.
