A: In resonant charging primary systems, volts. Capcitors store energy
in the amount of p=.5CV^2. The equation tells us that stored energy
is a function of the voltage squared. Double the voltage and you have
quadrupled the energy!

A: Yes, and I can smell the ozone and see the corona already.
This will work, but will be physically huge if you want any performance. 
Using air as a dielectric really is not practical in Tesla stuff for 
many reasons, not to mention that
capacitance *DECREASES* by the square of the distance between the
plates.

A: Nothing much. Does your car run without gas?

A: I wouldn't. b)(extra credit) use wheeler's, I think there are several 
references at the Tesla site (pupman-dot-com). Just type Wheeler's in the 
search engine.
