I found something interesting and wonder if this is relevant.
Capacitor Capacitance is reached by the size of the plates, that will be clear to everyone here, but the distance of the plates also has a strong influence on it I would not have thought now.
In tests the distance between the plates is increased and the voltage increases and vice versa the capacity. I had not thought of that.
I always wonder if it's because of the capacitors we get today which are much more compact and smaller than before, maybe the dielectric is so thin that the gaps between the plates are so small that the new capacitors do not produce the same effect as the old ones , The old capacitors certainly had much larger plates than the new ones at a greater distance to achieve the same capacity. I may be on the wrong track, but I think you can think about it.
I was able to get 4x 10μF capacitors from old production and withstand the 3.15kv and in relation to the other capacitors I have huge.
I want the transverter with max. Drive impedance and make the connection via small coupling capacitors to the diode plug. Perhaps one could tap the earth into the resonance system via a diode. I wanted to protect the diode connector with several suppressor diodes in series to short-circuit if more like 1200V are transmitted.
I always have to think about my high-voltage test where the ground connection could trigger the spark gap faster. Unfortunately, I could not measure any voltage or no devices that can stand it.
