An interesting project, but not much to comment on so far.

The charging circuitry would come much later in the design 
process, once the primary circuit parameters and the prime 
power source have been defined.  It seems unusual that the
rotary gap would be designed in such detail at this point, 
when the primary circuit parameters are not known, even to
an order of magnitude, it would seem.

Overall, it appears that improved sequencing of the design 
steps could greatly benefit the project at this point.
