5kv, the second at 10kv, the third at 15kv, and the final gap, or 
traditional spark gat set to 20kv.  Would this not appear that we input 20kv 
and not 5kv.  It seems logical, but has any one tried it?

Larry, if you'll look closely at your diagram, your sparks are in parallel 
with your caps.  You have a parallel charge, parallel spark gap diagram.  
Want to try again?
