New coil status update:
ezflow collector
7 bundles of 100 conductors ea 14 gauge, total of 4 gauge, phat.

4 controllers, wiil connect as 390721. These are special though. I doubled the turns. Massive bucking. Schematic included.

GK, nice looking coil there bud. You got some strong fingers, I bet you don't even cramp up from winding any more do you? Quick build!

Rosphere, Drink lots of water and take a PMS pill, or tylenol if you don't have that, before bed, and avoid coffee in the morning. It's a diuretic and the worst thing for a hangover.

I know the PMS thing sounds funny, but it balances out your water and prevents you from becoming dehydrated in the night, the major cause of hangovers.

All this should help you remember that mysterious bunch of wires on your desk in the morning, and what to do with it. And how you got that avatar. (nice by the way)

Rosphere, Drink lots of water and...

Thanks man.  I stopped about an hour ago.  If I stay awake a bit longer and drink some water, as you said, I will be fine.  The Red Green in me will not allow the PMS pill.

I was sending some 35KHz 9V-555 pulses into the two interlaced counter-wound coils, (I broke out the middle "turn around" section, cut it, and connected the right ends together-not shown in photo above.  Also, I removed the winding pin shown in the photo above.)  Essentially, two 50-wrap coils connected in parallel and counter-wound fixed at an angle to the speaker wire pair.

With probe connected to the two ends of only one of the two speaker wires, I saw flitting ghosts of vertical lines at a few resolutions of my 60MHz scope.  Only about 10-20 mV ptp but look at my setup.

Next, I put more power into my little crashing coil with two weakened 9V's and that IRF840.  I saw an interesting waveform.

@GK: Sorry about all of my drunk and disorderly posting last night.

Back in college, I would sometimes hear something new in class, my creative side would take over my mind for a while, and I would miss some of the lecture.  This is what happened yesterday.

I was reading Ronotte's latest paper.  That electron burst graphic got me thinking all by itself and I went off making a quick sketch, winding wire, draining batteries, and sharing my foolishness with the world.  I did not even finish reading his paper.

So, today I hope to finish reading it.  When I finish, I will probably end up deleting my posts from last night.  Have a good laugh about them now.

@gn0stik: I woke up a bit late today but I feel fine, without the PMS pills.  Thank you for your concern and advice last night.  I may try that PMS pill trick one day,... when no one is looking.

Mylords,

... with a top half inner coil and a bottom half inner coil.  One to catch the electrons in one direction and the other in the other ...

Just stumbled over that.
This somehow coincides with what I want to convey:
I think care should be taken to avoid cancellation of the currents which you create with your magnetic reconnections.
This will be difficult with a 100% symmetrical setup.

Is this why the effects of Otto's distorted mess ;-)
have not been replicated as yet?
If you take a look at the first photo in his thread again
Otto`s replication of Steven Mark`s TPU
and take note of how the lampwire cuts through his control coil...
Is everybody trying to build too symmetrical? so that the yellow electron flows which take off so nicely into two opposing directions in Rosphere's avatar, in the end cancel each other out?

Just thinking out loud.
