Bloch wall disconnect and reconnect. The final design!

That was a good vid. You have a small scale Don Smith there. If you open the gap a little more you show see the volts go up.
The idea is you are shocking the resonant field. That is why the bulb lights up.
Set or tape the bulb on the side and move the frequency up and down.
When I had the neon in series with the primary I could not transfer much to the secondary gap because the freq did not match my coil. I am working on that now. On Smith's Hubbard type he had tuning caps on each receiver coil. I didn't see caps on yours. Still is a fine test tho. Did it give you a headache?
Are the windings wires the 1/4, 1/2 or full wave length of the CFL freq?
So you have 3 layers of horizontal windings with 1 vertical layer? copper core, right? If so that saved your butt. Iron stores and emits stronger effects. To light the unattached bulb with .45 watts is really good. It is the resonance and not the power.

Hey GK  here is my crappy vid.

I wish I could open the gap up more but the clf driver is not strong enough.  Shocking the resonant field makes sense because on a test with a cloi and led the led pulses at the spark gap rate or there abouts.  I do have trimmer caps 6pf-76pf that I will try.  I have alreag tried several types of caps but connecting them kills the gap but one thing I did notice sometimes was that the gap was not always necessary for voltage.  It seems like when the conditions are right just the potential difference can creat voltage in the coil.  I'm not sure how to find 1/4 or 1/2 wave to clf freq....I still have so much to learn.  Good news is that I'm getting  a 50mherts RIGOL oscope for Christmas.  The windings are 3 layers as you mentioned and going counter clockwise with 1 vertical layer.  The core is air but I will be trying copper soon.  I did not get a headache but I did notice the spark gap was creating ozone.

These are just some tests I am running to help myself understand certain processes MAC.
