RE: [TCML] Energy accumulation on TC.

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

I think that high rep-rate synchronized operation was used in the early spark gap transmitters to achieve a near-CW mode of operation.  It is difficult but possible, but since breakout tends to occur on most of our coils anyway through corona, racing sparks, or conventional streamers, it's not clear that there's much more to be gained.  What is it that you're trying to achieve?
