Sergy thanks for sharing your point of view.

Guys, do you recognize what kind of capacitor is the blue one in the attached image? Is it in the range of uF? Is it electrolytic? Does anyone know its voltage rating???

Jeg that circuit the long coil is a katcher / Tesla coil and at it's top its a spark gap.
The green coil is an inductor and it's one side of the swing the other half is on the right-hand coil
again part of the pendulum swing the capacitor is the charge XC cap it depends on the total inductance for its resonant size might be between .33 and 10uf depending on frequency and inductance LX, it would be a none polarised type!   Did your dad put you on a swing and push your back just at the right time to keep you going? same idea.

Hi Jeg. I think whoever drew that diagram just stuck some random
picture of a capacitor in there. As Sergh mentioned, you would want to use a non-polarized
capacitor with a high enough voltage rating to handle whatever voltage swings you might
get there. It looks like an approach that is at least worth trying some experiments with.
Not too complicated looking.

   It looks like that mentioned capacitor was home made, not a commercially bought one.   
   The image below was from Roma's second shown self runner device.
   That last posted image of a diagram could be wrong.
   I don't see any spark gap on the videos.

Yes Nick it could be a handmade one, small capacity I guess. I tried some microfarads but as long as capacity increases becomes more and more as a shortcut to high frequencies. If we say that the load is 1.5KW at 220V then we speak about an ohmic resistance of a very low value of 33ohm. Already very small to sustain a decent amplitude for hf oscillations.   

At the circuit above which is not Roma's or maxim's, it could also be a capacitive coupling like a copper plate.
But a spark gap has more sense to be there.

Void I also find it very interesting. Especially when I see similarities with other devices.

   Jeg:   He probably has to fill that cap before turning on the lights. Me thinks
