Are they 3D printed ends inside pvc formers?

No, I cut those by hand from 1/2" PVC board from Home Depot.

3.3kHz sound about like the frequency of my meter. Listen to the (below) video again which I purposely brought the camera mic close to the meter and you can clearly hear it. You can download this free audio spectrum analyzer http://www.techmind.org/audio/specanaly.html to find the peak frequency.

Today the original grounding rod I measured with the impedance meter is 340 Ohms and the second one is 640 Ohms

Hi Luc,
Thanks for the link on the audio spectrum analyzer and for the ground impedance measurements. 
So much change in the sandy soil conductivity one would not know without instruments or without appropiate measurements and it surely changes with frequency too.

instead 2 plates also equivalent : 2 coils

subiect:SLOW WAVE
reason:- slow wave can explain why Tariel Kapanadze  coil is so small
-make Tesla coil smaller even though the frequency  for given 1/4 y is very low

factors making Tesla coil electrically small yet still performing:
-slow wave
-CW and CCW winding
- resonant cavities/ half rings ( this part is controversial to some of you even if it was  explained by Dr Corum)

It would have to be tested to confirm but I guess the results would be like removing C in an LC tank circuit. Would it still work without C?

That's an interesting question!...to which brings another question. Must a capacitor have 2 physical plates to qualify or even function as capacitance?

I'm no expert but I think it's an electrostatic charge that clings to the surface of a dielectric material.

Thanks for your honesty. I must of assumed you were an EE because of your knowledge and certainty on the subject you've displayed over the years. 

Kind regards
Luc

I doubt the TC would work that well without the top-load capacitor. The question was intended to foster contemplation on the matter. What about a single stand-alone TC? Certainly the top-load "capacitor" does not comprise both plates of a capacitor? Then what could be the other plate?

Of course a capacitor must have two "plates", otherwise it is not a capacitor. Once again, what might constitute the second plate when it comes to a TC?

The dielectric. Hmm, what exactly is that? Does a capacitor need one to have capacitance?

Suppose the top-load of a TC is only one half of the capacitor? Suppose in the scenario in which you have two TC's situated and connected as you do, might each top-load plate constitute one plate of a common capacitor, and the ether (air) between them the dielectric? Might such a case represent a conventional closed circuit?
