Dansway brought it to my attention that nobody has tested the 'many small wires perpendicular to the collector' operation. So here is an attempt at one configuration.
This beast has many configurations for connections. I just have to decide. The Helmholtz, the collectors, the controls, the hcoils windings, 3 segments, and now the MSW set.
I have a control ckt that does 3 and 4 segments. But it is not the overlapping sequence control I am looking for.

I will use my old controller to fire it up and see what happens.

Hi GK:
   I have put together a small coil to test out what will show up as well. Simply just a coil and a bunch of 90degree #26 coils. Found a few simple tricks to produce a short pulse to hit the main coil with. Will see what transpires. Will be tieing the small coils into a series/paralell set. Kind of thinking that using a 10 MHZ signal and then counting the pulses via cmos and then triggering off of number n pulse to a mosfet driver yada yada may well get really short. Possibly nano seconds in length? Can cmos handle that?

Electronically there might be problems. At the Radiant energy level it is a good test. The shorter the pulse always better and the more the better. I saw gigahertz swatches on my analog scope, patches of green. Way too fast for the timimg circuits to slow down and trigger. I caught them by the scope triggering on the acceptable levels of the incoming signal. I have also seen very high speed vertical scans running through a timing sweep of the main signals. I have posted all this. All those extravagant posts are coming back around.
So if you got a test bench then just keep on going. I am reluctant to go too complicated now. But I have got alot of objects in place now for testing. It really does boil down to a 555 or a signal gen. I expect that very soon I will turn on a coil and see it jump. Up to this point I have posted all the positive results I have achieved.

My test last night was definate proof of the short pulse. I pulsed only the HHcoils on the GKMTC1 in parallel with a +12v dc 22.2khz signal. And guess what? on MSW coil I got 4.75 volts dc. Turn the freq plus or minus and the 90 dr coupling goes away. Shades of minor unity. The coil is a hybrid complexity but I can use it in a simple form.

As far as fast signals go. There is an easier way. 2 signal sources in line with 2 5w 10ohm resistors in line with the coil. The phase cancellation will allow you to get very hi very short pulses. Or 2 resistors in line with 2 coils and both coils tied together at the other end. or the 2 resistors at the other end of the coils tied together. See? The 30awg wire really reacts radically with this set up.
Use the GK4 setup to check this out. LOTR 1:2. Almost looks like Gospel, eh?

Also: at the radiant energy level, all components become dead shorts accept capacitors, which act like storage. That is why no one can attach components to capture the kicks. The Poynting vectors are lined up at incorrent angles. Remember way back when the 90 dr coupling was scoffed at?

And don't forget, the faster the rise and fall time then higher the frequency hence the higher the reactance of the copper beyond what is safe. Been there done that. Be safe. Micro power levels of high RF and microwave openly right on the bench.

Sugra, Thanks for the focus post. And congrats on the 90 dr coupling. It is good to have another trying. No test is small. I thought so about my test last night. But I confered with Cavetronics. Things are good.

Very high frequencies = very short pulses = fast rise and fall time. It is that simple. That is the bottom line tpu answer.

--giantkiller. How big is your spark gap? Kicks are for geeks.
