So last night I pulled out my ARV blueprint specifically to look at Marks' drawing of the capacitor bank. One might see this capacitor bank as a series of over-lay's, that is one layer of capacitor banks laid on top of another one, each independent from the ones over or underneath and thus not as a single unit. That is to say, these might not be 48 capacitors, but rather 48 segments of independent capacitor banks.
If a person views the illustration that way then it is possible to envision two spinning electromagnetic discs. Two controllable discs which can be made to rotate in opposed directions: There are 48 pie shaped banks in several layers. Firing each capacitor off in a high speed sequence, and in opposition according to the layer it is located in, is a de-facto creation of two opposed spinning electromagnetic discs. There is a slight bevel to the outer edges of these capacitors which follow the outer hull profile. This does mean that there is also a slightly smaller diameter to the upper layer of capacitors: Reminiscent of the St. Clair patents features which use a race track made from transformer material and featuring a solenoid driven eletromagnetic race track which basically ends up being a kind of pesudo-electromagnetic disc of sorts, accomplishing the same thing as the ARV's segmented capacitors would but by a different means. While in the St. Clair patents the race tracks are significantly different sizes, with one being much larger than another one.
The Bobbin drawings from the St. Clair Patent don't have two counter driven race tracks, but others St. Clair patent drawings do, and the idea is just to get the gist of the different methods which have evidently been thought of to obtain the result of creating a spinning electric magnetic field.
I believe we are now beginning to see fundamental ideas which, though working by different means, are themselves aimed at accomplishing the exact same goal, and which in this case appears to be aimed at creating two counter rotating electromagnetic discs, and most likely of differing diameters. I think I'm now beginning to be able to say that basic overlays, or concepts, are becoming visible. This is like saying I think I can now see central core ideas incorporated in to this design which are shared by other works much like the John St. Clair patents.
