The last statement tells me that this is not easy to do - or even only
very difficult to do, or have you simply not gone hunting them?
Has anyone at TCBOR or on the list tried to replicate Tesla's / Corums'
work on this - or tried interacting two running coils?
Does it require very high power monster coils or very subtle
conditions - or is it simply the big foot of the tesla world.

Murphys law again - as soon as I decide to buy a book it goes out
of print :(
Let us know when its back in print, or the name of a supplier who
has a few copies and takes credit cards (or pound notes).

I may get some of Corum's material - Steven Roys wrote:

I was put off their TESLA coil tutor - despite my physics degree
- I prefer now to take my greek characters joined up in New
Testament form - OK I could plough through the math - it
looked easier than advanced quantum mechanics but heck
I'm doing this for fun - dinkin at dork factor 9.
