Graham,
Glad to see you are experimenting. There is a lot to understand here.
The negative charge is indeed normal. Using an electrometer, I have
detected rapid negative charges on balls up to 30 feet away. This is
pointing to non-ionic tranfer. Up close, like you detected, ions are the
main factor and supply real power as I have noted and you have confirmed.
I have found that my little 20 watt coil can charge a cap with an
effective DC impedance of about 100,000 ohms.
I will post some more info as I uncover more data.
