I like it and I bet it will work, assuming you have two identical blowers available.  Don't worry about it being an original idea.  It probably isn't.  Nothing is new in spark gap coils.  Everything has been tried.  Don't let that stop you from experimenting.  If you ever find the time and money to build the thing, give it a workout and let us know how it went.
