good point Steve, i was thinking about it too...
i see it geting a lot of amps because its a capacitor.. that discharges and dump energy to the other side because maybe matched in impedance meaning the energy is all tranfered in each cycle...
i was considering if the tubes due to the ultra high rise times would not create like a electromagnetic reaction
just like a back electromagnetic force..
for example as in a transformer when we get a flux changing we get a voltage on the other coil
in the dielectric as we change the voltage the faster and intense it goes more magnetic field is irradiated..
i would say that during the discharge the magnetic fields are such as to cause attraction in meyer case because the connections come from the same side
