Hi

I got the idea a while back that it might be possible to 
run a coil with a marx bank style primary cap.  Basically 
a marx bank works by charging all the caps in parallel
through inductors, then discharging them in series through
spark gaps.

If a multiple stage marx bank were used in the place of a
regular capacitor, this would solve the problem with high 
primary cap values and high currents.

I have a schematic and explanation of an example I thought 
up, its at http://www.efni-dot-com/~corey/marx.html.
