Hi Guys, I'll link a few building picture's here for those who may be putting together some setups, I just joined some drainge tube and discovered a trick so I'll put any construction picture's here and edit more in later maybe.
I use quick and practical methods that do not require special tools wherever possible.
First the simplest way I've found to get a straight square line around a pipe or cylinder is to use a square piece of paper or similar, wrap it around the pipe and line up the edges while it is all tightly wrapped if the paper is square or rectangle the end makes a perfecly square "level" line around the pipe, just draw around it, this is helpfull for cutting the pipe and for marking start and end points and whatnot.
Like this.
Here's the coil winding video links.

For the toroid terminal so far I just use slotted drainage pipe, I found if I cut the end down to the first slot on both ends I can fit them one inside the other by squasing one in and cliping the lip of one into the groove of the other.
Makes a good join.
I just taped the joins for now
These ended up rough with not a smooth surface I need better materials. But adding the second torus to the terminal decreases the resonant frequency about 50 Khz to 442 Khz it was about 492 khz so maybe I can work out the capacity from that roughly using the coil design app.
Increased capacity terminal.

After that they were interested. Especially the youngsters. It was hard for them to understand how I could hold a piece of wire which was sustaining an HV arc to the terminal. Difficult to explain in 5 minutes. But I tried.


If I light a fluro wirelessly from the receiver as well the voltage over the LED's drops to 11.5 volts.
