Secrets of Cold War Technology: Project HAARP and Beyond, by Gerry Vassilatos. 

Through successive experimental arrangements, Tesla discovered several facts concerning the production of his effect. First, the cause was undoubtedly found in the abruptness of charging. It was in the switch closure, the very instant of "closure and break", which thrust the effect out into space. The effect was definitely related to time, impulse time. Second, Tesla found that it was imperative that the charging process occurred in a single impulse. No reversal of current was permissible, else the effect would not manifest. In this, Tesla made succinct remarks describing the role of capacity in the spark-radiative circuit. He found that the effect was powerfully strengthened by placing a capacitor between the disrupter and the dynamo. While providing a tremendous power to the effect, the dielectric of the capacitor also served to protect the dynamo windings. Finally, the effect could also be greatly intensified to new and more powerful levels by raising the voltage, quickening the switch "make-break" rate, and shortening the actual time of switch closure...... voltages could often be increased at an amazing 10,000 volts per inch of axial coil surface. This meant that a 24 inch coil could absorb radiant shockwaves which initially measured 10,000 volts, with a subsequent maximum rise to 240,000 volts! Such transformations of voltage were unheard with apparatus of this volume and simplicity. Tesla further discovered that the output voltages were mathematically related to the resistance of turns in the helix. Higher resistance meant higher voltage maxima.

Getting Started with the Atom By Michael Simpson | Example 4kz peizo Atom project

Example commands: output channel, pulse period, pulse duty

HPWM 0, 5000, 500 (on a 20 MHz Atom) - This will give you 4 KHz at 10% duty cycle.

HPWM 0, 5000, 1250 (on a 20 MHz Atom) - This will give you 4 KHz at 25% duty cycle.

HPWM 0, 5000, 2500 (on a 20 MHz Atom) - This will give you 4 KHz at 50% duty cycle. 

John's advice: Start at 10% duty (pick your frequency), and work up to under 50% to verify the highest efficiencies

Example formula: Where x equals hpwm command value

20,000 / (desired freq in khz) =  x

Worked example: 35khz switching

20,000 / 35 = 571

Worked example: 50khz switching

20,000 / 50 = 400

Reasoning: The processor runs at 20 mhz, or 20,000 khz. A maximum of 16384 cycles can be registered off the main clock by the hpwm command. 20,000 / 16384 = 1.22 khz, which is the lowest pulsing frequency the hpwm can offer. A hwpm command value of 1, would give the full core clock speed of 20,000 khz. The hpwm command times off the main clock, and the low end is fixed by the maximum number of wait states the hpwm can record. Below 1.22 khz, you can use a software routine, so it is fairly pointless for the hpwm command to go any lower. What makes this so powerful, is that pulse width and frequency can be set from a simple command line prompt, and altered at the click of a mouse. Very easy to work with, cheap, simple, and effective. The only downside is resolution, precise single hz switching speeds can not be set, in which case a custom programmed pic is the superior solution, but as a quick flexible off the shelf fix, the Atom controllers are hard to beat. Certainly, they will give you a high quality 4khz signal, no trouble at all.

Notes: 

• Below 1024 bits accuracy decline from 10 bits to 8
• Period values above 1024 must be set in multiples of 4
• Period values above 4096 must be set in multiples of 16
