Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my hands on an NST yet. So I have 
settled for the next best thing in my eyes, OBITS. I have a grand total of 5 
of them in in parallel for 10kV -at- 115mA. Just over a kilowatt. I don't use 
RF chokes or protection filters or any of that stuff. I don't think they 
will die anytime soon, and its too late to modify my motor now as its 
already mounted with a rotor and flying electrodes and all the other 
goodies. Its going to be finished by this evening, the only thing that still 
needs to be done is the stationary electrodes have to be bought and mounted. 
It is a beautiful piece of work, great thanks to my nextdoor neighbor. I 
have another identical motor that I can modify though, can someone pioint me 
to a site on synchronization? Thanks to all those out there for their input.

Matt
