Hi Ibrahim

there's a great page here with all the formulae for working out a DC resonant 
charging coil design

I think you'd usually use a fast ARSG (asynchronous rotary spark gap) in coil 
like this.  The esteemed Mr Connor's Tesla Two is a DC resonant charging coil if 
you were looking for an example too

I agree, the parts count is higher but DC coils seem to run smoothly and 
predictably, and with a variac on the ARSG you can choose any break rate you 
like and see how the streamers change behaviour
