All,

I was wondering how many of you have tried the
experiment where you cause an incandescent lamp to
glow from current coupled by induction, by connecting
a wire loop across the contacts of the bulb.  I tried
this using a flashlight bulb, wire loop and approached
(as close as I dared without being tagged by
streamers) my running 6" coil.  Nothing.  Not even the
slightest glow from the filiment (spelling?).  My coil
is powered by one 12/60 NST.  I got even closer with
the bulb to the point where plasma started streaking
around inside it, but still no orange/white glow.  The
wire loop was about 3-4 inch diameter and was 22 gauge
insulated with gator clips that I just cliped onto the
two contacts of the bulb.  Does anyone have any ideas
as to what the problem is?
