NEW Direct Coupled Tesla Circuit - Looks promising

A friend of mine and myself came up with a new directly coupled tesla
circuit which from initial looks and simulations
looks to be able to overcome the limitations of previous direct coupled
tesla resonant circuits and may easily outperform
the standard tesla coil.  Sounds too good to be true?  Possibly, but
time will tell.  The only pitfalls of this circuit are the high voltage
requirements of a few components including the spark gap.

I've enclosed a sketch of this topology.  Any comments are appreciated.
