RE: Theory acceptance- Displacement current?

Original poster: Steve Conner <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>


In between the spherical top load and sharp pointed
ground contact, I placed the butt of a fluorescent tube.  When
the coil fired up, there was a thick white spark from the ground
to the tube and a thin purple spark at the same time between the
sphere and the tube.

Was either end of the secondary coil connected to another grounding point (water pipe, green wire of AC outlet, whatever)? If neither end was grounded, you would get high voltages developed at both ends of the coil relative to the tube you were holding. The ground point might well have a higher RF voltage induced than the sphere, which would explain why the spark from it was whiter.

That's my explanation of the phenomena according to classical physics :-P
