When you are working with a radiant event the math greatly changes due to time scale.

Is it possible to predict the outcome? Please explain more. with multiple variable capacitors and inductors achieving the outcome seem haphazard.

Well, I lack the skill to calculate a tank with radiant. The good news is there is a process to tuning a radiant tank. Tesla did it by setting two plates in a tank of boiled out linseed  oil and moving them closer or further away to get closer to resonance. If they were far apart he would trim down the wire length on his coil inductor and then test by moving the plates closer again until resonance was achieved. The same thing can be done with todays variable capacitors and tapping the inductor coil at different locations for tuning. I once made a tunable inductor by wrapping unshielded bailing wire around an insulator tube where the loops of the coil did not touch and had a tap that could be slid up or down the tube like a linear rheostat. It was a great help in tuning.

The proper way would be to invent self-resonate system , one which always produce optimal amount of radiant even if parameters change (I mean parameters like temperature which has impact on resistance for example).

That would be taking the gate of your mosfet or the grid of your triode and connecting it to an antenna but it is too noisy and too slow when compared to the rate of the event. Good idea though when the technology allows for it. Im sure someone out there knows how to do it.

Th only reason that anything is incoming is because you suddenly changed the parameters, but some parameters require time.

I got confirmation from a friend on my ideas that two saturable inductors can be used in parallel with a few nanoseconds of delay ( few feet of wire ) to create a tail-biter circuit. First one snaps the dc power off and the second is ready with collapse to turn the dc back on..

The trick is to wire the delay in the trigger of number 2 and space the repetition rate of the event so there is enough time for this process to occur.

i.e.. number 2 fires first but number 1 is still conducting.... then 1 fires and no one is conducting... then a few nanoseconds later number 2 goes into collapse and conducts ... so the result is a sharp snap off snap on of your hv dc bias

may be why two are present on the more powerful unit
