I could understand what you mean and it's seem reasonable that a
coil with surface of wire less than half of winding ( 8" coil:
747 square inch of winding, 12" coil: 1721 square inch of winding
) could not process the same amount of energy.

What I'm curious about is to know how better or worst a 12" coil
with the same length of winding ( Same surface ) but wind with a
smaller wire could perform many of us could be interested to see
how a 12" coil coiled the same length than yours but with 24 AWG
( double the turns ) could perform on yours system.

I think some of us did these experiments (Marc, John ) and note a
better output.
