Oh, and someone knowledgeable on another board suggested using this equipment to do the measurements:

Just wondering about the types of meters being used take measurements here.  Is there a list of brands and models?  Are power meters lab grade, and able deliver true RMS readings regardless of frequency and wave shape?  Also wondering about power factor effects (not sure how inductive or capacitive your loads or measurement equipment are. My humble apologies if you have been asked this question a million times, but, as you know, taking accurate electrical measurements is a treacherous task.

How aboot using two or three of these coils on the same wheel?
Anyway, Thane, unlike some other researchers on this forum I admire your tenacity, openness, and consistency in doing this. And I sincerely hope you have found what it looks to be from these measurements. Too bad there's so much room for error still.

THANKS MORGENSTER,

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE ACTUAL POWER FACTOR IS MORE LIKE 0.7 OR 45 DEGREES RATHER THAN WHAT THE METER IS SHOWING (O.11) NOW THAT THE TRANSFORMER PRIMARY HAS BEEN DOUBLE CHECKED ON THE OSCILLOSCOPE AT THE LAB.

THAT BEING SAID THERE IS ENOUGH POSITIVE DATA FROM THIS PROTOTYPE TO SUGGEST THAT WITH SOME FURTHER TWEAKING - WE WILL GET THERE.

THANKS FOR THE METER LINK - THAT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED.

I agree with Morgenster that the Clarke Hess 2335 is a mighty fine instrument ( DROOL)
I'll be green with envy if you able to get your mitts on one of these.  I would have to sell  a ton of my legendary Alien/CIA/MIB ray proof tin foil hats to afford one for myself...

From the Clarke-Hess Website:
"Customers of the Clarke-Hess Wattmeters include NIST, I.B.M., General Electric, Philips, Underwriter's Laboratories, the Canadian Standards Association, Branson Ultrasonics and General Motors ..."

PERHAPS YOU CAN LICENCE YOUR "ELITE STATUS MODIFIER PROGRAM" WITH JUST 21 POSTS? HOW DOES THAT WORK?
