Ken:

I believe you are correct about Moody Bible Institute.
Dr. Irwin Moon used to travel around and give lectures
with his coil. I saw a movie at a church meeting about
30 years ago now that was centered around his coil. I
remember distinctly that he stood on a platform
connected to the output of the coil and he raised his
hands with 18" to 24" streamers coming off both of
them. Moon was an instructor at MBI.
