Here is what I have found in my endeavors thus far. I use factory style plug wires for my circuits. These wires have WAY WAY too much resistence for the plasma "effect" to manifest (AT ALL) through. For this reason (and ease of installation) I chose to attach my plasma "kick" wires directly to the spark plug tips, and then shove the plug wire boot back onto the plug tip. No matter how much "juice" I put to the circuit in early testing, the plasma effect will NOT happen through a plug wire's resistence (thus the need also for resistor-less spark plugs). Many will back this up, as they have had the same experiences in their circuits. Since the VexUs circuit ONLY uses the spark plug's normal operation to trigger the plasma "event", and since the plug wires have too much resistence for the plasma energy to come through to the plug, it would stand pretty iron clad to reason that no part of the plasma "event" can travel through the plug wire's resistence to get back to the distributor cap. (Whew, I'm sure that sentance is grammatically incorrect!
) I have pulled my distributor cap and looked, no damage has occurred to the cap and rotor button thus far. This is the beauty of a "piggy-back" system set up in this fashion, NOTHING factory is modified.
As for the NTE517 diodes, I already use two diodes for each cylinder. But, Greg and I came to the conclusion that we are both able to obtain better and more stable results by using the diodes in parallel, not series. I will actually be using three diodes parallel per cylinder for my automotive installs. This will serve to further reduce any heat buildup and aid in adding more longevity to the smooth operation of the circuit. Also diodes in series tend to have voltage drops, more drop the longer the series. As we are using almost all voltage potential and almost no amperage (I think my "kick" wires measure 0.07 amps during operation), any voltage drops are unfavorable to our performance. Keep in mind also, some of the "effects" we are obtaining with some of these circuits, cannot be fully explained to an understandable level using "age old" laws. With new inventions, must come also a new way of thinking, just my two cents. Maybe now I'm the one rambling!
Anyway, I hope at least some of what I tried to explain can make some sort of sense to you. We are all still exploring these circuits and looking forward to any and all ways to implement them into our daily lives to better ourselves and others. Comments and questions are ALWAYS welcome, that's how we figure all this stuff out! Later........................Mike
I will look into the use of the TVS diodes for each leg. Can anyone else verify this and draw into the diagram a good location to install them if need be?

we are waiting to hear your "WOOT" when its running in your car
