Re: Ion motor? (fwd)

<< Ed,
 	When you placed the ion motor towards the center of your
 toroid did it spark off it's ends? No? Then you toroid is shielding
 it;( Move the ion motor back toward the outer radius of the toroid and
 it will "spark again";)  Or up MUCH higher.

Yes, it still gave sparks off the ends of the bent wire - both in the center
of the toroid and near the outside.  The toroid is small, 12" dia x 1.75"
cord so the difference between the edge and the center is only a couple of
inches.  I will try raising it up on say a drinking glass.
