You suggest me not to use resonant rise effect and make larger
capacitor.
Pherhaps the best solution is to use DC power to load the capacitot.
Than I will be able to load any size of the cap (for example only 50 BPS
but larger cap and of course larger energy stored and transferred to the
secondary
of TC). I think this solution also not allows to waste energy (when
the capacitor is not exactly the size that is loaded in 1/2 or 1/4 or
1/6 ... cycle)
For example when the cap is loaded in 1/3 cycle enough to enable the gap
to fire ,
only 2/3 power will be transferred to TC.
Is it worth effort to make DC power supply ?
