Original poster: "resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>The distance from the actual magnetic coil to the metal "egg" is critical. The losses increase dramatically as this distance in increased. You need tight coupling or else large coils to operate the egg more than 1-2 inches away from the inductor coils. Ours uses a powerful current and very efficient coil design to produce a dramatic "spinning standing egg".

Original poster: Gomez Addams <gomezaddams@xxxxxxxxx> I realize this is a wee bit off-topic for the list, but if someone who understands the question thoroughly would reply to me off-list, I've very much appreciate it. I'm curious about the "Egg of Columbus". If the windings are on a toroidal form, wouldn't most of the magnetic field be enclosed? Does the thing work solely on "leaking" magnetic field? And if so, isn't that awfully inefficient? What am I missing? - Bill "Gomez" Lemieux
