Hi Malcolm,
I have a 1 foot diameter coil with a stack of 2, 14 inch toroids. They
are 4 inch cross section and spaced about 6 inches apart. Indeed, the
Fo does go down more with 2 than with 1 toroid, but the breakout
voltage seems to be about the same (although I have not formally
measured it).
If your aluminum spinner has hemisphere molds, you might want to go
with the circle of spheres idea a la my big coil. This provides you
with a VARIABLE diameter toroid just by using different length radial
pipes.
Zap,
Mark
