Original poster: "Gerry Reynolds" <gerryreynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Ah! Thankyou. This wasn't clear to me. Seems like a larger cap would be in order :-)) I guess for STR operation, this would be a problem and may be why asyc rotors are oftem run at high RPM.

Original poster: FutureT@xxxxxxx The second type of re-ignition (the bad type) is when the energy has rung down, then the power supply charges the cap to a high enough voltage to fire the gap while the electrodes are still aligned. Some of the terminology makes it a little difficult to make things clear. The terminology is not always well defined in Tesla coil matters in general.
