The horizontal, dual ended coil sounds intriguing. I wonder what the effect
of a gentle bending of the secondary around a long radius might be. Sort of
like a "Slinky" with both ends flat on a surface, then both ends raised to
horizontal (or even vertical). Thought this might better isolate the primary
from strikes as long as the end windings do not get appreciably closer to
the primary. Anyone tried this?
