    If indeed you have succeeded in producing comparitively more
longitudinal waves with a circular
secondary, doesn't that just mean you've provided a suitable antenna
for the rf?  Most early spark radios simply extended the secondary
resonator with a
long piece of wire, which damped the spark output, and increased wave
propagation.  Somehow I don't
see how your invention is new... though it is fairly
"novel".
