Hi Antonio ,
At ordinary gas pressures, I don't think the coil B
field has significance in creating the spiralling
effect.More likely ,it is an ambiental gas flow along
disbalanced *streamers* path associated with the
driving mode characteristic for VTTC that creates it .
Thermal causes,E-fields,and surrounding air
turbulances shape and direct discharges of these
devices.My opinion.
