Gene,

No plans for such a system are floating around.  The magnifier in such a 
small  size and space would not likely outperform a standard 2 coil 
system at the same low power level provided by a single 15KV neon sign 
transformer.  The beauty of such a system is that it could have the 
driver off in a corner and pump up a free standing resonator a number of 
feet away.
