Yah, but the thing is, you should never ever need that much current. Ronnie has been reluctant to comment on whether someone else's configuration should or shouldn't work and rightfully so as he realizes he doesn't know what other configurations could work and what calculations others have done. I have tried to maintain a similar attitude. That being said, and yes I can be blunt in the way I say it, I think you're trying too hard to throw power at this thing to force it to give you the voltages you're looking for.
When a coil goes to discharge when it doesn't have a constant current flowing through it, it will try to discharge as quickly as possible. It may have been charged with only, let's say for example, 20V. But if the current wasn't flowing or stopped for whatever reason once it was charged, it will discharge with thousands of volts in an instant with minimal current. This is the trick with the VIC. Not just trying to step up the voltage with the turns ratio. It's stopping the current via properly connecting the coils so that their mutual inductance opposes each other and through resonance so that the coils discharge instantaneously.
I'm probably not explaining this accurately in its application in the VIC. But I have enough experience with my own experiments to see these effects.
Not sure what you mean about "relaxation".
