Longitudinal Forces in Tesla Coil Metalic Conductors

Since there has been so much written lately about relativity, moving charge carriers and Lorentz forces, it's probably important to also consider Amperian longtuinal forces in the metalic wires of Tesla coils. These forces are without attendant magnetic fields and are exerted parallel to the current stream. I know it may come as great disappointment to all died-in-the-wool Maxwellian afficionados, but Amperian currents do not follow Maxwell's or Faraday's field theory or relativity. They, instead, are governed by Newtonian mechanics and particurally by the 1/r^2 law. Amperian current elements are within the metalic conductor itself rather than outside EM wave impingement on the metalic conductor. These longitudinal Amperian forces are capable of considerable current and power and may completely disrupt the metalic metal lattice at high power levels. Considerable power may be transferred to the Tesla coil top terminal by means of Amperian currents.
