ok this is not hard yes  i think you almost have it all figured ...  i wish this was all i had to teach ...

i tell ya!   anyhow

you simply charge the supply cap the first time ....   you need a large enough reserve hence the 650 f
there 5 on the output as i desire 12vdc ...  i will add rings and feeds till they fill to the speed i choose

there must be stages to this device   stage 1 basic jt large cap  as input for stage 2
as soon as cap #1 is dead step down some of the time that was gained in the caps to supply the ring ... take the stage 1 away ..  now it is perpetual!

ist

this is the very same as your car turn the key till the engine is running ...
charge the cap with the starter ... the stage 1 jt  then turn the motor on ... 

could it be simpler?   

if you can do it mega big you can also do it mega small .. right!

but im not so good with all the electrical forumlas and such
to tune really fine ... and its not that i can not do it
i choose not to ....  got it !

you do not need a jt any more effeicient .....   you need to stage so you have a constant flow

How would you measure how measure farads stored in the capacitor though? 

The Farads in a capacitor are determined by its size and dielectric. For a given capacitor, the Farads are always the same. It is equivalent to saying how large a bottle is using quarts. Except that you can say there is 2 quarts in a 5 quart bottle, but you can not say there is 2 Farads in a 5 Farad capacitor. The capacitor is filled with Coulombs not Farads.

So then, I take one of my secondaries from a jt and fill a cap or 2 then move one or both into place as for instance the jesus charger and it goes on making light from the other secondary while it fills and discharges from these caps.

I tried that once and did not get it to work, but I figure like all these things there were some technical details I did not know about and left it alone... for later

Am I on the right trail??

i would say yes j


im gonna build it and perfect it here soon as i get my materials ..

 Try to charge two caps in parallel.  Then series connect them through a lightbulb to charge two more capacitors in parallel.  Now series connect these two and recharge the first bank which is now in parallel.  Repeat until the light doesnt light anymore.  Take a voltage reading on the capacitors.  Then take one capacitor and charge it with three in series.  Then take this one capacitor and charge the three capacitors which are now in parallel.  Series connect again repeat until the light doesnt light anymore.  Now you are getting frustrated doing all those jumpers so lets finish up and short one of the capacitors directly through the light bulb.  Now take two capacitors in series and charge the remaining capacitor.  Now short this one.  Now short the last two in parallel or series for the last flicker.  You now have four discharged capacitors.  And a jumble of rackshack leads and your cursing me.  This is a Tesla Switch.  Resonance does all the switching for you as energy changes form from inertia to pressure.  Each plate of the capacitor is a scource or drain depending on the last pulse from the inductor.
