Dave,

I've read very carefully your past emails and what you say below still
doesn't feel very clear.  I genuinely want to understand what you're
suggesting, so please consider answering a few more questions.

* When you talk about the "E field", is this the high frequency time varying
field between the top load of a coil and the ground?

* Don't the field line from such a source mainly terminate in the ground
near the coil (or at least within a few times the coil height)?

* If they don't, how sharply does the E field drop off with distance, in
particular is it slower than inverse square?

* When you say the ions are "captured by the E field", how exactly are they
held in one place by an E-field varying in a high frequency fashion?

* What kind of ion densities are you proposing and how quickly does this
drop off with distance?

* As before, why don't interactions with neutral particles in the air
dominate the electrostatic forces?

Please consider answering these questions so we can have a clear idea of
what you're proposing.

Cheers,

Colin.
