"A current is consumed" means that, in order to maintain the current, you have to provide energy. It is just a way of speaking.

current isn't "consumed"... it's a stupid way of speaking, use a more appropriate word like 'transformed' so you don't sounds so silly.

Hi All,
I have decided to construct and power the exciter tower and circuits shown in the links below. I intend to power it with DC (rectified back EMF) off my Bedini setup.  My question is right now what is the measured input "CURRENT" to the primary LI coil while using 12 to 18 volts to power a single tower?

Knowing what others found metering current in a similar 12 - 18 volt exciter setup would be a big help to me as I found a way to vary my OUTPUT current as well as voltage from my Bedini setuP.

The Bedini setup uses much less voltage and current to power all to 12 volts/current compared to using a variable 12-18 volt power supply. I case you might wonder.

It's a good way of speaking for the given reason and every one understands it and uses it (http://www.google.fr/search?q=%22current+is+consumed%22).

it may be a popular semantic faux pas, but that does not negate the fact that it is still a faux pas.

A "faux pas" is just your subjective opinion, arbitrary provided outside of any rational arguments.
It is really the energy of flowing electrons that is consumed, for example their kinetic energy when heating a resistance because of their collisions with the atomic lattice. Thus "consumed current" perfectly describes the phenomenon.
