Now we're getting somewhere!
No,
we are not. You are repeating the same mistake that Jeff made, changing what
the Correas did before you ever see the effect. The PAGD discharge is a
wideband event. Transformers are ***not*** simple devices in a wideband case,
they have stray inductance which will present a complex impedance to the
discharge. You are ignoring what I said about the discharge continuing with no
rise in the cell voltage. You say you have studied the Correa ptents, but you
have not understood the implications of what is in them. Transformers also
block DC.
I
don't want to be harsh here, but you have to do your homework **very
thoroughly**.

Perhaps a huge part of this mystery concerns the critical design of the
output. Too small a capacitor and the pulse action will be
inhibited
because the capacitor will be filled. Too fast or brief a pulse and the
battery may reject most of it as heat rather than accept it as a
charge.
It might be possible to use some sort of audio transformer of high quality to
transform the pulses down. I would think the low
impedance
of a small battery pack would be reflected back into the tube
favorably. Perhaps one of the new low voltage ultracaps would
work
in such a circuit.
