I might be wrong but your coil goes down on each time spark occurs. And you have contact from coil in upper position with coil connection to right edge. Your wire is from downside of that contact so when spark occurs it wants to stick to coil wire. So this is where push down occurs when these contacts try to stick into each other...

That's correct. Charge capacitor with high voltage and small current on 1Mhz oscillation, take out on 50Hz.. What you get? Same analogy with horse before just "constant" energy in this case...

Hey T

So how would we accomplish this?  ;]

Hmm unless I misunderstood what you said, I believe you may have misunderstood what the video is trying to convey. Or rather, what I am trying to convey with the video,( frame by frame.)

Note that the vertical blue travels up, BEFORE the terminal is closed on SEVERAL occasions. I've caught it thousands of times, this is just one video stepped frame example for you to see.

So it looks like the vertical ground "telluric" wave travels up, in conjunction, or rather in-lead to the cause of it.

This is profound to me. However, I am thrilled on the other hand that somebody else had a different interpretation? I'm definitely all ears for more Thank you so much for commenting on this. It feels like a major breakthrough but I may be missing something elementary at this stage,

Best,

I would set the contact up stationary and move it up and down by a mechanical means. You can clearly see the deflections from the various angles of attack.  A perfect sphere on the gap might be better to study this.

I ment, your coil's right edge moves down mechanically due wire push. And that mechanical movement is generated due strong current going over wire in spark place.
