Re: [TCML] tripolar coil

Jim,

I think that a three phase system would be unlikely to do anything 
special, even if you could come up with an LC arrangement that would 
work (and I can't think of one).

If you are using a spark gap coil, the breakdown of the gaps would be 
too random, independent, and chaotic to make any sort of interesting 
pattern.

Might be something that could be achieved with a solid state coil, though.
