John,

I'm not really sure how close the Maxwell cap brings the pig
to resonance. The cap is just in the circuit path of the shorting
lead between the pig's two hot terminals - inseries with the
output of the pig, not in parallel, as in a Tesla coil circuit. All
I know is that the addition of hte cap in the shorting path just
about doubles the arc's "pullout" lenght before it lets go. :^)
