This is a simple sawtooth generator using a <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_gap">spark gap</a>. When
the voltage across the capacitor reaches the spark gap's breakdown
voltage (1 kV), the spark gap fires, allowing current to flow that
quickly drains the capacitor. When the current stops, the spark gap
stops conducting and the cycle begins again.
