Skip, Malcolm
Yu are asking excellent questions which need experiment and careful
concideration to answer well.
First the word Ion indicates a charged particle so, yes, an ion cloud is
charged.
I have noted that the charge emitted by a Tesla coil (AC Powered) can vary
from time to time based, I am sure, on the initial pulse's polarity. A DC
operated coil should force charging to occur in the same polarity regardless.
At any givien instant in time the toroid, as a piece of metal will follow the
resoant frequency output of the tesla coil, but the DC charge relative to the
charged air dielectric may or may not be another matter! Much detailed work
remains to be done. Its just too early for me to heavily cast my opinions in
one specific direction without more experiment.
The work continues here.
