Just charging the caps to 40kV would have been a bit of a challenge
as you can't use a conventional voltage multiplier as it needs to be
earthed. A flyback would do if a bit underpowered.


So would this setup fire one mean discharge at first light, and for the rest of the run (or until the "booster caps" were charged again) it would operate like a normal TC? How would one go about charging these caps "on the fly"? Or did he just rectify off the primary tank voltage?
