Are you referring to my experiment at my site, where i made the pulse 
lenght long enough for 2 AC cycles per pulse with a number of off 
pulses?  The idea is at my site page:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/srward16/staccato.htm

near the bottom, i talk about it.  Basically, the 20k pot (not the 50k pot) 
needs to be upped to about 100k or a bit more.  The 20k pot controls the 
pulse length.  A o-scope may be helpful in experimenting with this.  Im not 
sure what is needed for 3 series pulses, ect..  But i will gladly find out 
if anyone is interested.  It would only take a few extra resistors, and 
possibly a selector switch in order to easily switch from 1,2,3 etc, 
seriesed pulses.  It could be useful.  It made the spaks look really 
intense with my dual 833A coil, as the eye will see 2X the number of 
sparks.  And since the sparks all start at the same point, the base of the 
arc looks especially thick!  If anyone has any further questions, i would 
love to hear them!
