Ed,

Richard Hull used to use a small toroid on top of his extra coil on
his magnifier. Then he installed a cone above this small toroid.
Then a huge toroid was placed on top of the cone.  THis cone
provided a transition metal piece from one toroid to the other.
The cone had its wide area on top of the cone so it fill well
between the toroids and filled the gap between them.
