This is my best coil wind yet.
I put the coil around a clear plastic tube. At the time it was just what was available to me to wind my coils around -- but it seemed to be a good "accident"
.
Coil wrapped around the tube -- the tube is a flourescent light bulb protector, cut a little short.

Now, as the ice froze in the center -- there was some serious pressure going on in there. I wish I had taken a picture of it while it was freezing. Basically, the outside froze long before the middle of it froze. The tube acted sort of like a barrier for the inside of the ice -- I don't quite know why it didn't freeze for such a long time -- but when it did, it looked pretty incredible.
The colum before (the straw), was able to push the water up the straw. Inside this one -- the tube was submerged, and pushed up with enough force to crack the upper layer clean off.

Close up of the tube shoving the top layer clean off.

The tube was useful -- as it allowed me the chance to melt the outside ice off, without melting the structured core ice
I became fascinated with the coil winds, and their relation to the freezing pillar's structuring.


Different angle.

Another angle

I'm seeing similarities in the form of how the ice freezes -- and the spinning vortex inside the wine bottles AND the shape of vogel's crystals....
This particular freeze got me thinking -- Instead of a 1/1 in/out of the same energy of a cubic form -- why vogel cut his crystals that way, might have been to be a step up/down transformer of his energy.
In this sense -- Think of magnetite as a 50/50 soft iron transformer -- where the primary, and secondary wires have the same number of turns. However, like most step up/down transformers -- like vogel's crystal has a wider primary, and a longer secondary.
I'm trying to figure out how to produce that exact same effect in the ice structure -- since I will be hitting it with 10 KV -- Does anyone else see what I trying to say here?
Neon sign transformer arrived yesterday. Time to plan building that tesla coil...
Different types of Tesla coils acting as receiving antennaes....
