Richie Burnett's resonant charging text is well worth the study, and
also has resulted in a procedure for the design of such a system: the AC
resonant charging calculator (RCC), which was not published as a
finished program by Richie, before leaving the list. A more detailed
outline of the method was also given by Ritchie on this pupman list; see
the following link:
I have transformed the procedure into an Excel spreadsheet, which I can
make available to you off-list if you like (email me to
k.schraner@xxxxxxxxxxx). I've successfully designed several STR resonant
TC's of higher power,using the procedure. Some pics of my own bigger
coil "Black & White" can be seen on i.e.

Subject: [TCML] Re Please review my coil plan
Thanks for valuable input, I will stop worrying about secondary losses
in this instant and use an asynchronous gap with simple variac control.
And I will varnish the secondary...
There is a readable copy of Richie Burnetts text on resonant charging on
the hvtesla-site. I was very interested at first, but I wonder if a LC
circuit where all the energy is dumped out of the condensor on each
cycle when the gap fires, really could be interpreted as a resonant
system. It would be a very lossy and low Q one, in that case.
Perhaps resonant charging is just a more complicated way of stating that
there is a balance between how fast the ballast allows the condensor to
be charged, and how often the charge is taken out? In that sense there
might be an optimum ballast value for a certain condenser and brake
rate.
