Claims

1. A CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR THE ROSONANT DISCHARGE OF CAPACITIVELY STORED ELECTRICAL ENERGY THROUGH AN INDUCTIVE LOAD, COMPRISING A MULTIPLICITY OF CAPACTIVE STORAGE UNITS, NORMALLY OPEN INDIVIDUAL SWITCH MEANS FOR EACH STORAGE UNIT, CONDUCTOR MEANS WITH BRANCHES INDIVIDUAL TO SAID STORAGE UNITS AND THE ASSOCIATED SWTICH MEANS FOR CONNECTING ALL OF SAID STORAGE UNITS IN PARALLEL ACROSS SAID LOAD IN THE CLOSED CONDITION OF SAID SWITCH MEANS, INDUCTIVE IMPEDANCE MEANS IN EACH OF SAID BRANCHES HAVING A MAGNITUDE WHICH IS LARGE COMPARED WITH THAT OF THE LOAD INDUCTANCE, CHARGING MEANS FOR SAID STORAGE UNITS, AND MEANS NORMALLY EFFECTIVE TO CLOSE ALL OF SAID SWITCH MEANS AT SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME TIME;

SAID STORAGE UNITS, SWITCH MEANS AND BRANCHES BEING SO NUMBEROUS THAT THE PARALLEL COMBINATION OF ALL OF SAID INDUCTIVE IMPEDANCE MEANS IN THE CLOSED CONDITION OF SAID SWITCH MEANS RESULTS IN AN OVERALL SERIES INDUCTANCE FOR SAID LOAD WHICH IS SMALL IN COMPARISON WITH THE LOAD INDUCTANCE.
