Greg,

You may be right about needing the 3 cap banks.  On page 60 in
Anderson's book "Nikola Tesla on his Work With Alternating Currents
and their Application to Wireless Telegraphy, Telephony, and
Transmission of Power", there's a picture of Tesla's 3 phase system,
which uses one rotary gap with 8 electrodes, and 3 separate cap
banks.  There is no mention of how well the system worked.  I seem
to remember Lou Balint mentioning something about Tesla's 3 phase
Tesla work also...I'll ask him about it.
