I hope this serves it purposes and creates a reasonable non emotive debate. Is that possible here?

I think the 20-minute long "debunk" video is one of the best things of its kind that I've seen. The presenter knows how to perform a genuine experiment to test a fundamental claim, and he knows how to present his work in an accessible and understandable manner.
Also there is something highly significant revealed in that video, concerning the difference in performance between an ordinary solenoidal monofilar coil and the series-connected (Tesla) bifilar winding, with the same amount of wire. When the coils are shorted, which we have been taught is the heaviest load on a generator of this kind, or loaded with the big rheostat to 10 Watts output, each coil performs about the same. But when the coils are open, the series-bifilar winding requires a lot more power from the prime mover to get to the same RPM for the magnet disc, AND it produces much higher voltage than the monofilar coil (open) does, so much voltage that it ionizes the air (ozone smell) and is over the top limit on his Fluke multimeter. So, when driving a high impedance load, there should be a clear difference in what you get from each type of coil... depending also on how it's driven. The big disc with the many alternating magnets, running at about 850 Hz, may be key to seeing the high voltage on the open bifilar coil. (1700 RPM x 60 magnets = 102000 passes per minute = 1700 passes per second, alternating magnet polarity = 850 Hz on the AC generated by the big disc).

I can confirm that the "pick up quality" of a monofilar pan cake coil and a bifilar pan cake coil (otherwise identical) are the same.

Yes, I saw that, but you are running your coils with a low impedance load, right? The interesting difference noted in the video is that the bifilar winding solenoidal coil has a much higher voltage output when it is _open_, which is the equivalent of driving a very high impedance load. The coil made so much voltage under that condition that it ionized the air, whereas the open-circuit monofilar coil only made a few hundred volts.
