John,

I'm about to wire the electronics for my new TSG (needs lots of air). 
There will be two modes of operation: 

- Asynchron. Adjustable from 30 to 500 BPS
- Synchron. Adjustable from 80 to 130 degrees after crossing zero

So it should be possible to find the optimal BPS rate for a given 
capacitor.

Did you measure(!) the break voltage ( = capacitor peak voltage) 
already?

Cheers,

Herwig
