I don't think these coils will arc to one another, with any wind direction.
They will both spark, obviously, but won't arc to on another without sharing
a mutual magnetic or a separate magnetic drive to each coil.
Think about it. A half wave system is just two long 1/4 resonators wound in
the same direction. However the single primary sees two counter wound
resonators on either side of itself. The magnetic action is the key to the
phasing. In a true twin system one item of the four coils has to be counter
wound to its mate.
In a base drive senario there is no magnetically phased coupling from a
driving source as the energy is directly coupled into the second system with
no phased magnetic memory as to where the energy came from. I have been
there, done that with a magnifier. It didn't seem to work for me.
