Ted,

What I meant also, is that with a small cap at 100 bps, you'd
need to use resonant charging to get a large enough bang size
(due to higher voltage), to get long sparks.  To obtain resonant
charging would require a certain (optimal) value of ballast L.
I realize this may destroy the NST's however    :(       Thus,
I recommended the higher bps for your system.
