Keep in mind the primary circuit is just that, a circuit. Regardless of how
many coils (primary in this case) that are in the circuit, all of them will
see the discharge of the capacitor. All of them will create a field as a
result of the cap discharge, and all of them will send that energy back to
the cap to allow the cap to charge up again to complete this initial part of
the cycle. The circuit will see both primaries as nothing more that one
primary (if this will help you visualize this concept). Just pretend you
have taken one primary coil, cut it in half, and then place the newly
separated half on the other side of the capacitor. The primaries can be
wound the same direction by connecting outside of  turns to outside of turns
and inside of turns to inside of turns (in this case capacitor leads connect
to outside of turns, and SG leads connect to inside of turns) to reverse the
field between the two coils.

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
