Steve,

Sometimes C2 in that particular video would drop to only 900 and sometimes to 1-200 so it wasn't too consistent but the effect was consistent. I think things would smooth out having the event repeat at a higher frequency.

It seems that electrons would have to come from the HV rod to the grid in this setup but the coil seems to charge different than a typical cap discharge and I'm not so sure it is normal electron current. It is definitely something that allows the coil to charge and with the effect, the cap discharges as if the coil isn't even there to offer any resistance or impedance.

Anyway, this would mean that at the HV rod, if that is where the electrons are coming from, voltage and "electrons" are moving in one direction while the current moves in two directions at the same time on the HV rod.

On that particular setup, there was no switch at the LV rod as it was closed. The event happened whenever C2 was high enough when there was a pulse from the ignition coil synchronized to collide and both the HV rod and C2 moved to the LV rod so the "electrons" could have easily come from the LV rod and not the HV rod, possibly.

I don't know if the electrons even know what they're doing. lol

More and more I see too much evidence that the whole electron model in electric circuits is falling apart rapidly. I know it doesn't hold up in many of these circuits already and I'm not so sure it is even accurate in conventional closed loop circuits.
