Hello everyone, 

 

I am still a little puzzled about the biopolar system. So let me try to 
understand how it works. for the nst, you put the spark gap between the power 
terminals, right? But then how do you hook the wires up to the spark gap from 
there? After this, the wires go directly to the outer "tuned" turn of the 
primary coil. Then connected to both of the inner turns on the primary coil is 
either side of the capacitor. But here i am confused again. How does the cap 
charge, and wouldn't it only discharge to one of the coils??? I hope someone 
can clarify. Thanks 

 

 
Thanks
