Hi Slayer

Back to work

I read some Dr Stiffler threads and came to some ideas

First    i did a pancake coil (pix 1)  as you suggested    8 turns  0.5 mm copper    and 0.35 ohms resistance     and 2,5 micro h  inductance

it works very well

second i tried to use water as transmitter  and it works well  it is simple tap water without any electrolite     To test it i used my diode bridged led with antenna and took the distance where it lit off,  than i put the water container under this distance and plunged the antenna in the water and the led lit up very brightly. (not very clear on the photo but real in my lab)

very interesting anyhow

good luck

regards

Laurent

Very nice job Woopy.
For your pancake coil you might get even better results with plastic coated solid wire.
For me anyway the plastic coated wire worked a lot better than the mag wire.

Great job and thanks for posting your results.
