Explain the (proposed) setup and we can explain why it will not work, e.g. in air, to support 200 kV without sparks/arcs a minimum radius of conductors would be 66mm just a sphere of 66mm radius would have a capacitance of about 7.3 pF 1,467 A would be required to change the potential of this small sphere by 200 kV in 1 ns IF you could make a transformer 2 kV : 200 kV = 1 : 100 the primary currnet would be 146,666 Amps !

Would a transformer wired like the diagram above work to make a square wave. You have 2000volts that can be switched at 1ns-10ns, the current is say 100mA, the transformer steps that upto 200kV and 1mA, would the transformer wired so the voltage from the dc source(200kV, 1A-10A) be anti each other produce a square wave. The simulation software says yes, but that doesn't say much.... The genny-set is a capacitance genny, not magtnic, that runs 200kV.

This is what I've got so far, a joule theitf type setup, I think the capacitance of the transformer can be lowed if the case is charged up to wire voltages, the scope on the primary of the transformer is square, but adding a cap to ground will phase shift it?.
Any ideas on building the two coupled inductors, I'm thinking 30 turns covering 1.5m with the 4cm*10cm wire melted in a furnace...

As a thought experiment, consider the sources as the energy to activate an EMP fixture, i.e. shock-excite a tuned line, terminated in copper sulphate resistors.
Then couple the characteristic of the known EMP signature into tuned circuits whose characteristic impedance yields the current and voltage you desire.
