Not really. A shorted turn has practically no resistance and
therefore cannot absorb much power if any. A resistive load across
the turn will get a better result but the result will not be truly
representative of disruptive coil operation since you won't get the
two-way energy trades between primary and secondary.

     I think others have answered your MOT connection question
satisfactorily.
