That sounds fantastic, Richard.  Would it really be necessary to wind the
primary around copper tubing.  If both are in a flat spiral, couldn't they
both lay on the same plane?  Or would that be too much inductance?  They could 
each have their own tanks.  If it was a wrapped tube, it would probably need
to be insulated to keep it cold enough all the way through the primary.  This 
is only a guess. I am not an engineer, but that seems like a lot of surface
area to absorb heat.

Either way the potential sounds great.  Have you calculated how much power
in and out? Discharges?

I expect to see discharges from your work light up the horizon any day now.
