Also, in the pic shown above and below, the circuit on the left is correct for connections. We can look at the 3 inductors as if they were wound trifilar and the bottom connections of the 3 inductors are the start of the trifi winding leads, and the top leads are of the last turn of the trifi coil.

Hi Mags I have been looking at your diagram and thinking about what is happening, this is only a close eyes and see what might be happening 1) The open end feed coil really is a capacitive coupling with the other two coils, the dielectric being the insulation (very thin). 2) Your running at an AC frequency and not pulsed DC, so you are building a charge between the coils and at some point the air between the windings breaks down. 3) This breakdown is infact a plasma, as in dielectric barrier breakdown, you may not see it, but happens. 4) This breakdown comes with a high current, but mostly disipated in the plasma, but I think a higher voltage than the input is left, which goes to charge the cap through the FWBR. I might try this with some high voltages, I can run DBD's here @ up to 100kv regards Mike
