Hi John, all

       You bring up some good points there, althought some are hard to see in 
my head... But as far as efficieny goes, has anyone tried , or someone 
explain the 
efficiency comparison?  
       
       Also, I thought that since the capacitor would be discharged at a spot 
other than the ~ peak, it would not be fully charged. My confusion may be 
becuase I dont' know how many cycles it generally takes for a standard (2-3 
X) LTR cap to be charged... If it is only one half cycle (the other half does 
nothing, correct? Because it is opposite polarity to the cap.), then I see no 
reason for an Asynch gap. But If it is more than cycle (which I think it is,) 
I can see where you are coming from. But how could the voltage go extra high? 
Just like freezing or heating something, how could it go beyond the source's 
power (in this case the NST, MOT, or PIG's voltage). unless the cap adds 
voltage back into the circuit or something...
       
       I'm not trying to debate which one is better, A or S. I'm just a bit 
confused.
       
       I wonder if someone out there who understands this could animate it 
somehow...Flash, animated GIF???

Thanks for all your help everyone,
