Also if the induction plane is made large enough, will it not in catch ALL
the electric flux from the topload and replace ground as the return plane of
the system  (L2 is directly connected to ground whereas L2 is directly
connected to RF in conventional Magnifier)- becoming an "upside-down"
Magnifier in effect?

By the way, In http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/tesla/mresctw.jpg it appears
that the base of L2 is grounded -is this correct only the ASCII diagram you
posted seems to suggest otherwise -the ASCII format problem again, perhaps?
