Nice find. Excellent video. A square wave generator and an osciilliscope. DR. Stifler was right though, you need a basic course in Scope Tronnics to run the equipment.

That scope chop would disappear if you rewound the coil with magnet wire. Looks like you have the technique down, congratulations!. Good chance that one will work! Won't be long now!

Build an Avramenko plug to test it. The plug can have two reversed LED's connected to the ends of the two reversed diodes; It will work one way or the other. Connect one end of the coil to the signal generator electrode set to the 13.52 Mhz with no power, with the ground wire free; Then see if an LED illuminates in the static field in proximity to the coil.

Would it be better to use a higher diameter for the coil, and less turns ?The highest Q is achieved by using only 1 turn of very thick copper (magnetic loop antenna).Those antennas have a very high Q.
Or maybe a flat coil with only a few windings, like Tesla used ?
