Aaron,
Tesla would increase his inductance by connecting ends of bifilar or multi-coils in series. Have you tried this? This would further decrease current flow allowing only potential. This allows more effecient use of the same amount magnet wire to build a stronger magnetic field.
Here is a link for those of you that need simple explanation.
Bifilar Electromagnet
If you notice also in the beginning of the FEG book of Bedini ('84), you see the energizer coils in series. My thought is this increases capacity as well as significant potential to be released. With this in mind, make 10-3B as a quadfilar. Two or more strands opposing two or more strands with each opposing pairs in series.
Just a thought…
