by:
Vo = Vgap x SQRT(Cp/Cs) where Cp is the primary capacitor and Cs is
the total capacitance of the secondary system. Cs is itself an
approximation but close enough. This value of Vo *assumes* the system
to be lossless which it isn't. A reasonable estimate would be the Vo
calculated above multiplied by a factor of 0.7 to 0.8 for the average
disruptive coil. <snip>
