	What do you mean by "two frequency collisions"?????  If you arrange a
spark between two otherwise identical coils tuned to different
frequencies there will be times when the voltages are out of phase and
the peak voltage (at least under no-load conditions) will be twice the
voltage of each individual coil, but if you tune them to the same
frequency that will happen all of the time.  No increase it net power
available, of course.
