I might add there is a TCBOR video of this experiment and more regarding ES
effects of TCs.  
 
One of the major reasons TC are poor EM radiators is that their output from the
toroid is basically a time and polarity varying electrostatic field.  Typical
EM radio frequency instruments basically find nothing to measure.  That's why
the FCC doesn't bother us.  They don't really "see" us.  However TC's output
huge amounts of varying electrostatic energy which can be easily measured with
radio frequency electrostatic instruments.
