I agree with your analysis of the polarity of Bert's coils. I am
planning to wind a small resonator like this in the weekend.
Measurement will follow when I get it back home followed by a test
fire with the flyback supply. I have decided to come in to get my
large coil going properly with its new topload so I'll get a few
other things done as well.
